1960's COCOA PUFFS BALLPOINT PEN

FLEA MARKET FRIDAYS #8

I'm just cuckoo for this find! The antique dealer had a nice display of old ballpoint pens from the 1960's mounted on a board. This was probably an old saleman's display to show potential clients how snazzy their advertising would look on a ballpoint pen. Luckily for me the dealer was selling the pens individually, instead of the whole display. There were a lot of missing pens so the display had already been picked over, but luckily a cereal collector hadn't been by or they would've snatched this one up, just like I did.

It's a mint green and red Cocoa Puffs pen! I've never seen one and it's now a nice addition to my cereal collection.


The font on the pen matches the font on this 1960's box.
