Pen amd Pencil Holder

This is a nifty little gadget! You can put any size pen or pencil in the rubber holder and wear it around your neck so you can't lose it! It says "Genealogists collect dead relatives". Measurements: Rubber holder 2-3/4" long x 3/4" wide on a rope that measures 17-1/2" long.

2-Color Pen on Rope

2-Color Pen on Rope

OK, we have found it now! This is a pen that has both blue and red ink in the one barrel. You can see that there are two buttons that you can push to select either color. Yes, you can buy refills at your local office supply store. Rubber grip makes it an ease to hold. What is really neat about this pen is that it also has a "break-away" rope so you won't hurt yourself in a moment of frustration at the library or court house. Wear it around your neck at the genealogy conference, library or wherever. Of course, we have added a cute saying "I love Genealogy". Makes a GREAT gift for any genealogist including yourself! We have had many requests to bring back a pen on a rope, so we think this one is the best yet! Measurements: 5-3/4" long with a 16" break-away rope.

Erasing Highlighter

Now this is neat! Did you ever highlight something that you did not want to highlight? Well, this 'pen' will 'un-highlight' your highlighted stuff. It is almost unbelievable to see. AND, it unhighlights other highlighters marks too, not just made by this one. It also says "Genealogy - the highlight of my life!" so you won't get it mixed up with all those other pens in your desk. One end is the highlighter and one end is the 'un-highlighter'. Some of you folks (ladies, mostly) have been after me to get this slimmer, sleeker model and I found it!!! Enjoy!

Micron Pigma Pen

Micron Pigma pens and Millenium pens are the greatest! Quilters use them for fabric as they are colorfast, fade proof, acid free and archival safe. Use them for scrapbooking or writing on those old paper backed photos. You can't go wrong with this pen! Point size 01.

pH Testing Pen

Lineco Archival pen. Use this pen to test paper products for acidity. It provides an easy method to distinguish between acid-free and unsafe acidic materials. The chlorophenol red solution in the pen will turn a purple / lavender color on acid-free or neutral paper with a pH of 6.8 or above. A yellow or colourless result indicates the paper is acidic. If you are making photocopies and expect them to be "safe", well, you might get a surprise! Try this.
