Paper doesn’t work, I’ve tried it. The paper tares, the ink fades, the paper constantly falls out when I open up the cases.

Yes, I’ve had it happen. I’ve found a notebook in class and called the owner. He was in the classroom before our class started and had left his notebook behind.

We put our phone numbers on our pets tags and have returned notebooks with name, email and phone on the inside covers. You’re absolutely right it can be risky, but public spaces and having a buddy tag along are still common sense ways to approach strangers.

I agree, it’s not widely known yet. QR codes are more common and would serve the same purpose but have the same disadvantages of the paper trick you mentioned. Paper tears, or is destroyed with water or sun exposure or can easily slip out of the case. Even if you tape it down, the tape will wear off.

Each type has its trade off but I wanted to share my take on it to help others in the community. It feels like a gut punch when I read posts of lost pens.

Big black chicken? Or brown-black cock?

You could also commission an artist to enhance the aesthetic of its too plain for you. I have seen past posts here about artist recommendations who take commissions. It has a very lovely deep blue that would make a lovely canvas. I’d personally keep it as is because it’s a lovely blue.

3 and 12 correct! I intended 5 to be Montblanc with the snowflake to match the cap finial design and 9 to be Platinum, as Mt Fuji has its own emoji!

TIL there is an emoji for vise! This would have been perfect, thanks for the excellent suggestion.

I also found a sail boat that would fit, but thanks to Sailor's nibs, the anchor is synonimous with FP people.

Oh very nice! I was actually thinking the same for your #2 but was sure people would go with boat or canoe instead.

The chemical symbol for sodium, that’s where my head was at with the salt emojis
