Is there a Paper Mate expert in the house?
Permalink Closed

Here's my dilemma:

01.jpg

Marked as a "Petite Pen"

02.jpg

Also marked as a "Petite Pen"

03.jpg

But what's this? A "Lady Capri Pen"?

04.jpg

This is what I expect a "Lady Capri" to look like. Both this pen and the one above are in boxes of the same dimensions; the only differences are the pens themselves and the molded clear plastic sheet in which each is held.

I *suspect* that the pen and its plastic holder in the third image have been put in the wrong box, but I would very much like to confirm that the longer pen is a "Petite" and not a "Lady Capri" of, perhaps, different year.

Anyone?

I've also seen the longer pen listed as "Lady Petite" a few times on eBay, but that's, y'know, eBay.

The first 3 I have seen refered to as the Lady Capri mark 2 frequently and I have seen a Paper Mate advert where they are called The Lady Pen. I have one in a hard white plastic hinged case. The bottom one, a mark 1, I also have in that same packaging but they did come in various package versions.

So, Mark 1 is the pushbutton pen, and Mark 2 is the longer, twist-action pen. It would be nice if there was documentation readily available for these things, eh?

Thanks!

Yes, definately! These pens last for decades so still relevant.
