Restoring Lettering to Stamped Names by Halfhyde

Stylocentricity by Bluesea[_3_]
I've been reading websites not related to pens, wondering why so many spell the word as "Pelican" instead of "Pelikan." Duh! -- ~~Bluesea~~ Spam is great in musubi, but not in email. Please take out the trash before sending a direct reply.
