This is ideal for restoring old-fashioned values on your workstation.

This Venetian Glass Pen set rests in an antique brass holder which is attached firmly to a rich cherry wood base. The holder can also accommodate a bottle of ink which comes with this set.

2. Ninja Pen with Sound

If the pen is mightier than the sword, then how mighty is a sword pen?
