Folks, my apologies for the light-hearted approach to this five-dollar find.
I was indeed aware that it was a Ripley and that the blue was not a result of ink stains.
(In fact, it seems to have been last filled with black ink, rather than blue!).

Here is some fresh stuff from the wild.
I'm not a Sheaffer collector, but when they turn up....
The hand engraved pen is dent and ding free; the big Clipper is like new!
The Dusty Rose Duofold has some plating wear, but the other two are rather clean.
The MRHR pencil/knife is awfully nice. Imprints read "Strad" pat applied for Rd No 767365

David, It is indeed not something I plan to keep; however, due to condition and scarcity, I'm looking for pretty much full whack.

Hello All, and thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I recently picked up an awfully nice little Gucci sterling and gold cased ballpoint pen and thermometer.
The pen is marked Gucci, Made in Italy, Sterling 925 (and a hallmark I cannot quite make out).
The 925 and hallmark are on the case, too. The thermometer is marked Made in England.
The gold bits look like they might be solid gold and the hallmark looks like it "might" be 585, making it 14K, but I'm not sure.
Has anyone seen one of these? I searched and can find no records or references.
Thanks,
Daniel

Pretty plastic. Shame not used by the big guys.
I agree. It would look terrific on a honking great OS pen.
This one is of Japanese manufacture, so I've no idea where the material may have come from.
