Nostalgia Pen

<h3>Nostalgia Pen Revival</h3> <p><font size="+1" color="green">Reviving memories of my San Francisco public school days in the 1960s, I set out to recreate the iconic pen that taught me the art of cursive handwriting. Those universally used pens stood as a rite of passage, instantly recognizable by their dark green hue and slightly longer design.</font> <br>This pen requires an affordable refill, available for pennies at Target in packs of 10 for $1.39. <br>The pen can be printed in one or two pieces, with or without ridges to enhance grip. I discovered that a two-piece design facilitates easier refill removals, as pushing is safer than pulling on the tip, which tends to separate from the ink tube.</p> <br><u>Heed This Warning</u> <br><font color="red">Never attempt to print without a raft in place!</font> <br><u>Update 2019-01-13</u> <br>I added a cap to make the pen more convenient for carrying, perfect for pockets, backpacks, or purses.
