Pentel PD345 without eraser cap?

I often times see the PD345 Jet Clic / Quicker Clicker for sale on eBay, YJP, Mercari, etc. without the eraser cap and it drives me crazy. When I was a kid I would die when I’d lose the cap on my Quicker Clickers.

To see a packaged item without a cap is triggering me. Were these actually sometimes sold without a cap???

I am pretty sure that all of my were sold without caps. Did the catalogs show them with caps or without?

I used to throw away the cap as soon as I got one of these back in the day.

I would have pantsed you if you did that in front of me.

I sometimes have that effect on certain people. And not always in a good way.

I saw that listing but didn’t even notice the missing cap.

I’m on the brink of believing that Quicker Clickers, and potentially even the Juniors, might have occasionally been sold without eraser caps, but I’m still in the process of figuring out the circumstances and reasons for this. As of now, I’ve found no evidence of specific markets or packaging identification for those missing caps.

It would be disappointing to determine that Pentel simply ran out of caps and decided to package and ship their products regardless. However, considering Pentel’s past actions, such a scenario doesn’t seem completely improbable.

Drives me crazy too. It’s super easy to bypass those auctions though.
