What kind of rig would you want? What did Robinson Crusoe use? What about the HMS Bounty's mutineers after they'd reached land? I think British polar explorer Robert Scott used pencil for his journals.<br /><br />Jack/YoungstownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-32474223816386140982010-05-13T14:39:41.228-04:002010-05-13T14:39:41.228-04:00Good question, Jack.

I tend to bear down on a pen as if I was scratching my initials in a rock, yet I don't remember this one every going to mush on me. Maybe I wasn't as rough as I thought!<br /><br />Yea Bleubug, this definitely brought back memories. I know I used the black ones, and for some reason I remember a green one in my pencil case as well. But purple was always my favorite color.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04836567798824248997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-89923327477142885752010-05-13T12:46:27.230-04:002010-05-13T12:46:27.230-04:00The earliest Flairs sported a longer felt tip, lac...The earliest Flairs sported a longer felt tip, lacked a tip collar, and did indeed mush down after protracted use or excess pressure. As a youngster, I bought mine at Sears, which had something of a pen counter in those days. The refillable Flair came first; disposables showed up later.<br /><br />Does anyone know what sort of market niche the Flair was meant to fill? I thought at one time the Flair was intended to offer a color saturated line that ballpoint pens couldn't, but that's just a guess.<br /><br />Jack/YoungstownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-18452093132890899172010-05-13T10:32:45.492-04:002010-05-13T10:32:45.492-04:00They're definitely great pens; however the tip...They're definitely great pens; however the tips will mush down if extensive force is put upon them. Think: someone writing in an angry mood or just about every teenage boy in high school. I've seen some of these points mushed, but it merely serves as a reminder to treat these fine writing objects with care. A good lesson for when we all moved on to the finer writing implements! All in all, this is a great pen; should be inducted into a hall of fame.Victohttp://www.revisionbar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-23774080821282021192010-05-13T10:21:23.196-04:002010-05-13T10:21:23.196-04:00I remember these from when I was a kid.
