Space Pen by Fisher, Bullet
Conceived in a dream in July 1948, Paul Fisher was soon machining a new pen design shaped from solid aluminum. It became the first Fisher ball point pen, the #400 Chrome Bullet Pen, and arguably the most popular pen of the twentieth century.
Cited as an outstanding example of industrial art, the classic design of the Fisher Bullet Pen has been exhibited for years in the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Bullet's timeless styling has been the topic of many art books and magazine articles. Often imitated but never duplicated, the Fisher Bullet continues to be the most popular Fisher pen.
The Space Pen technology starts with a non-skip, textured tungsten-carbide ball encased in a stainless steel ball socket, designed and machined to almost perfect precision. The sealed ink cartridge is pressurized at about 45 pounds per square inch and contains a visco-elasic, thixotropic, solid-gel ink. The result is a ballpoint pen that will write dependably smooth upside down, underwater, over grease, in extreme cold and hot temperatures, with an estimated shelf-life of 100 years.
All Bullet Pens come gift boxed and contain a Medium Point Pressurized Fisher #PR4 Black Ink Cartridge.
