Fisher Space Pen

For a person who still believes a pen should be an instrument, not a disposable stick.

Oddity 1 is familiar. 5 is genuinely strange.

A pressurized brass bullet pen that writes upside down, in the cold, and in the conditions it was actually built for.

Three reasons

  1. The pressurized refill is a real engineering answer, not a slogan.
  2. It lives in a pocket and still looks like an object on a desk.
  3. The link is the raw-brass bullet, the one museums have shown, not a logo novelty pen.
