Pens or Doctor’s Fascination with Pens

Built for the government and looking every bit as official as you'd expect, the Embassy Pen ($40). The pen itself is made from anodized aluminum, and features a knurled grip, a medium black SPR4 pressurized Fisher Space Pen ink cartridge, and a built-in stainless steel clip for affixing .....read more »

Wall Street Stop
Marvelous exhibition with unique photos. Want to visit, here it is: Nederlands Fotomuseum Rotterdam. Wall Street Stop
