Any recommendations for a simple pointer
I "need" (want) a small, simple, cheap but reliable laser pointer, nothing too high powered, the dot should be visible in daylight at a range of 10-15m, I only need it to point at stuff at work, it will be used in a theoretically possibly explosive environment (grain dust/flour) so heat is a no go, should be disappears-inside-pocket-but-noticeable-if-gone-sized, it's important is that it is reliable, inexpensive but not cheap

For all the Pelikan 100 enjoyers, I just got one that kept a feature lost in most of them

NOS Pen Day, M150 Old Style Bols
An order of magnitude less exciting than the other Post made here earlier today, I still want to share my newest addition to the flock, a M150 Old Style Bols blue demonstrator, the only demonstrator of the M100/M150 pattern, 3000 of these were made in 1994 for the Company Bols which is known for their blue Curaçao liqueur (which I like), as a child I loved the alcohol free blue sirup of that flavour very much so I just had to have this pen

questions about boxes
Do any of our resident vintage collectors have pens with their matching boxes? The solid-colour versions of the Pelikan 140 would be of particular interest as I am looking for a matching box for my light tortoise 140

Pelikan 700NN
New very exciting beauty in my collection, it is completely overlaid in 14 carat gold and very very expensive but I got is for a "good" price (still stings a lot, but below the usual price and extremely rare...)

Some 60s and 70s Pelikans
They aren't as iconic or immediately recognizable as the Models of the earlier decades or later Souverän series, still a part of their history
The quality of the pictures aren't great, but my phone broke and all other (phone) cameras I have access to are bad
