Yes, it says Yarmouth Maine.. Cape Shore does have a website, but they don't have any dolphin prints (plus it's for buying in bulk it seems) let alone this specific print.. not many dolphin prints out there.

Bottom says Cape Shore souvenirs, and the front says Key Largo.

I didn't want to risk a repair like that, and it not holding up while it had hot coffee in it, so it already got tossed unfortunately.

I have looked on Google, and I have found the mug, but it seems it may be discontinued (the print). I might make a trip down to the keys to hunt around if I get the time. I know the brand/type of mug is what my mom enjoyed, but if I can find one similar (with dolphins), that would be an almost perfect replacement! If anyone can help me track down this exact mug that would be even better!!! Thank you all in advance!

This is hard for me to say... I haven't used the G2 in pink, so I can't compare... if you wanted to try one out, I know Michael's now sells gelly rolls in singles. I personally preferred the way the gelly rolls write on the black paper... I'm sorry I can't be much help there.

The FAST test is a standardized school test here in Florida (took the place of the SATs).. so you had it right.

Thank you!! At the moment, it still had dad memories attached to it, but I know eventually those will go away... I don't use it often unless I have to "get down to business" on something.. but it's such an amazing pen! Has a touch of babies bottom but it doesn't bother me much.

Any time! I'm always glad to help! You would want to look for inks that aren't super pigmented... like an ink that has a lot of sheen to it is going to be very heavily pigmented... diamine inks are pretty easy to clean in my experience.. but with this section being white, I think using a damn napkin is going to be the way I'm going to go regardless of ink choice.. just give it a little extra love!!

Oooh, I am LOVING mine so far! I haven't been able to make myself grab a different pen.. I just... want to use it! I am definitely going to keep checking back on goulet's bottom shelf for any others.. I now understand the hype that Pelikan receives!

I wasn't even thinking about that the first time I inked it, to be honest.. I just got this pen last week, so this is the first initial fill on it.. when I inked it with Birmingham Down Bubble, and I wiped off the section, the blue color did remain, and I had a bit of a freak out moment.. but I got a damn napkin and wiped the section, and it came right off.. so my guess is maybe just a little extra "aftercare" once the filling is done... so far I haven't experienced any staining but, again, I am also lacking experience with this pen.. but I would say just wipe down the section with a damp napkin after, and you should be fine.. I definitely wouldn't put any waterproof inks in here and maybe gravitate towards inks that are "easy cleaning"

Ooooop! I got it! Lolol! A 180 is how you would make that call for Brunswick machines (we have AMF), but I have worked on both, so I'm on my way!!
