HBW 9801

[Candidopessegueira]

In first place, congratulations for the nice forum.

A friend of mine who collects items from sailors gave me a pen. I liked too much this pen (HBW 9801) but I failed to find this pen where I live (São Paulo, Brazil). Even worse, I failed to find out any information about the pen or its maker (that I suppose is HBW). Could anyone help me, please?

You got any pictures?

[Candidopessegueira]

No. In fact, I unwisely dumped the pen as soon it ran out of ink. It seemed to be a common, average and cheap ballpen available everywhere and I thought that to know the name would be enough. Unfortunately, I was wrong: I simply couldn't find any information about the pen or its maker. It's amazing. The only thing I can tell you is that it was written "HBW 9801" on it (yes, I know. Not the most useful information you have ever heard). Thank you very much for your attention!

a disposable ballpoint pen? Wouldn't happen to be a Sailor gel pen, would it?

 

I know of the Sailor disposable gel ink pens...

I don't think so. The pen was not retractable and if it were a Sailor pen, it would be written on it, wouldn't it? My memory is bad thus I can't even make a decent description but the design of the pen didn't attract my attention (it could have been a BIC or any other ballpen I am used to). If it were a Sailor, I probably could have realized.

Oh, HAHAHAH... I thought you friend collected Sailor pens, not "collects items from sailors." My mistake, I misread...

To err is human. He collects foreigner items (coins, stamps, newspapers, beverage cans and so on ) and sailors and other travelers are a reliable source.

Thanks for your effort!
