Note that the logo looks a bit like a goat leaping in the mountains. "Bock" means "buck", which along with male bunnies and male deer can refer to male goats. That would be why bock beers traditionally have a goat on the label somewhere. It's a German thing.

The Estie did set me back nearly four dollars, so there was a moment of internal conflict. If I'd had two or three more dollars cash in my wallet (which would have been enough to pick up the Sheaffer) I would have had to pass on the Estie. But I couldn't very well pass on the Sheaffer... which meant the debit card came out. I didn't have authorization from the CFO (the lovely mother of my five kids), so I fugured another four bucks wouldn't really get me in any additional trouble. Besides, it was blue.

Went for my first antique shop crawl in a couple months last Saturday. My first stop was at a recently opened place that I hadn't been to before. There were about a dozen pens lined up in a display case, and a blue Esterbrook LJ and an orange Sheaffer of some sort both grabbed my eye.
The orange Sheaffer was in great shape; clearly whoever O. W. Haney was didn't use it much. Then I looked at the bottom of the pen... "R3-25C Semi Fine $3.00". Yep, stickered!
As if that wasn't thrilling enough, I walked out with both pens for under 30 bucks.
Dandy way to finish the year! Now I guess I should take a picture or two...
