Today (Star Wars Day) feels like the right time to celebrate two of my most-delightful collectible entry-level fountain pens:
Sheaffer Pop Star Wars R2-D2 & DEATH STAR fountain pens
Been meaning to post about them for awhile as perfect examples of
- how toy-like fountain pens are as worthy of love as expensive super-luxe pens
- how my aesthetics (and so much more) were influenced by the FORCE of the Star Wars phenomenon of the 1970s (and the futuristic styles of the 70s and 80s)
- how well these affordable Sheaffer beginner fountain pens function
Today all I have time for is just this teaser, though.
Goldspot (& perhaps other pen retailers) have a few Sheaffer Pop Star Wars pens on sale HERE for their weekly dip … including The Death Star for $13.50 (half-off of regular price of $24).
