Hi, does anyone (preferable from europe) have the (popular in the US decades ago) “Neon Click-It” ballpoint pen (willing to sell a couple), or any knowledge of how to get them in Europe or at least in smaller quantities than 250? (it’s an advertisement pen).
The mechanism is remarkable, with a tilt-member-mechanism, very weird geometrical stuff.
Any help appreciated thanks.
You can buy 150 here it says
Outside of buying 150, you might be SOL on smaller quantities than that unless eBay randomly has a seller of misprints or something
Splitting the cost
If anyone is interested in splitting the 150, please let me know. I’m in Europe so if anyone from the US wants to purchase it with me together and send half of it my way in international shipping… You really can’t find single pieces of them anywhere, you’d think people sell advertising pens like this? I searched for all kinds of search terms, google image reverse etc., no luck
I feel like there has to be a promotional product company that you could order a single sample from.
I have been looking for these pens as well. I remember seeing them all the time as a kid.
Are you still interested in splitting the cost? I did find this website that appears to maybe allow a quote for single digit amounts.
Welcome to the forum @Ethan_PT7 , I managed to find one with the help of another friendly Knockology member.
You can find them from time to time in advertisement pen lots.
I’m skimming through them regularly, and I will keep my eyes open for an affordable one.
Currently I found this one for sale:

The patent I currently assume is the foundation for this pen is US2941510 by PaperMate from 1955.
However, this style of mechanism was popular somewhere between 1950 and the 1970s, so it could very well be that my guess is wrong.
Thank you so much for the welcome and the information. The patent stuff is interesting.
