#OnePenOneDay A.G. Spalding Bros. Bullet Roller

This is a long forgotten pen in my stash, but the A.G. Spalding Bros. Bullet Roller design is so sleek I had to break it back out for the #OnePenOneDay project. One problem I ran into right out of the gate: the refill had dried up. I so badly wanted to use this pen I tried refills from about 10 different pens before hitting on a winner in the Ohto Ceramic 0.5mm Roller Ball refill. Worked like a champ!

The one flaw with this pen in some eyes is the lack of a clip to keep the pen from rolling away. It doesn’t bother me, but it is a quick one when it is ready to roll, so pay attention! Otherwise, it was fun to revisit, and I will be using it much more frequently. Be sure to check out the original review to see what the old reviews used to look like on The Pen Addict.
