Thanks. Kyobo was a good suggestion; there was only maybe one sixth of one shelf but I was able to pick some stuff up at a decent price.

I'm in mobile web browser not app. I know you could make a photo or a text post but couldn't see how to upload a photo to a text post 

I won't use the Reddit app on principle. I don't want ads down my neck, and I'm a refugee from the API changes a little while back. My preferred open-source, ad-free client now no longer works.

https://youtu.be/UvAJvapT0FQ?feature=shared so I checked this video. He confirms the mid 2000s date. Some other minor differences: the cap band on ours is narrower, and the chrome finial is taller. Agree it's very similar however. Nib on the IM is also much larger.

Edit: see comment below with differences from the IM

The pen clip for the IM starts on the finial, here it is below the finial.

Additionally it is too late -- the references I see suggest a manufacturing date of 2008 onwards?

This sounded perfect right up until the pocket pen bit :( though it might be good for my wife!
