QUIZ WINNERS!

[PenHero]

Tom got the answer first, but Kurt got it in the right form, so we have co-winners! Thanks to both.

 

The pens in the quiz, the Sheaffer 500, 800, and 1000 pens are often referred to as "Dolphin" pens and they were released by Sheaffer in 1962 as both cartridge and Touchdown pens, so the prices were not "exactly" as the cartridge pens were $5, $8, and $10, but the Touchdown pens were higher.

 

I was going to accept any of the following series names as "correct" - No Name (true), Dolphin or Porpoise (commonly known names - due to the shape of the nib section).

 

The decade and the series numbers were requirements and needed to be exact.

 

That's the FASTEST quiz we've had!

 

THANKS and Congrats to Kurt and Tom!

If you guys don't mind, I'm going to split this topic and move the reviews to a new topic, so people can find them.

 

Thanks!
