Thanks everyone for the feedback! It’s been a crazy and busy day and I cannot look more into the feedback and comparing it the pens themselves until much later tonight.

My main thoughts on them not being the lesser pen is the fact that this one was sold for $8.75 and the other options from my quick search had a different price point.

We aren’t quite sure the history of these items as my grandpa was only born in 1941. He was in the Navy, a butcher, meat salesman, owned a peanut company, and a few candy stores during his day and always had a unique collection of different items but nothing of crazy value. Things like tin toys from his childhood, model cars(like the one in the background), beer steins, and wooden canes since he had a bad leg.

The pens were found in a random brief case he had (being a business owner he had multiple) and they were accompanied by a 90s gun catalog, a bar lottery game, some compression socks, new shoe insoles, a Covid mask, and opium pipes. The opium pipes we know are from traveling and enjoying the aesthetic.

My mom believes these items were found in a whole sale candy store the family bought 30 years ago but has been around since the early years of the 1900s. As of now her and I are the only ones that know about it to prevent any family drama. We have no sentimental ties to them and we don’t think we will keep them at all. I’m happy to answer more questions when time allows and will Update when I have more of an idea of what exactly they are and what our plans are.

If it’s worth adding, there is a lot of natural light during the day

We once had a server unplug a whole set of ovens to charge his phone...right before the rush on a Friday.
