[WTS] Four Pilot Pocket Pens 14k & 18k <F>

Verification

For sale today are four Pilot pocket pens that showcase the different style bodies that Pilot featured in the 1970s. The pen companies in Japan were competing for the public’s attention and Pilot was amongst many companies that were doing innovative and thoughtful designs that evoked the Showa period. These pocket pens are small when capped, and fit into a bag or pocket with ease. When posted, they extend to full-sized writing tools, comfortable for quick notes or longer writing sessions. These vintage Pilots all take contemporary Pilot cartridges, one of which will be included with each pen. They also take the Con-20 and Con-40 converters.
