parker pen on a string -- anyone recognises??
Hello:
I'm trying to identify (and eventually obtain) a parker pen that used to be popular during the 80's. It was an ordinary ballpoint pen that was inserted into a pear-shaped holder that had a string pass through it. This pen was very popular among clerical staff or librarians, because the pen, hanging from their neck, was always available for use. What was the name of this model? Is it still available? Are there similar pens-on-strings by other companies? Thanks, Mayer ) |

Look near the bottom of this page: http://www.pendemonium.com/pens_parker.htm Is it still available? I don't know, but I doubt it - except used, as the one above. Are there similar pens-on-strings by other companies? The Sheaffer Tagalong. http://www.sheaffer.com/instruments/popular_price/tagalong.shtml The Ergo. http://thewritersedge.com/ergo.main.cfm You'll turn up others if you search Google for "pen on a string" or "pen on a cord" OR "pen on a rope". -- Steve My e-mail address works as is. |

https://www.kingpen.net has Parker "Slingers" for $4.50 ea. Ah, Slinger, and not Swinger. I wonder if they used to be called the Swinger, or if Pendemonium just made a mistake. -- Steve My e-mail address works as is. |

Parker did, at first, call it the "Swinger", but later changed the name to
"Slinger". Gordon |
