Need some advice. Accidentally bought ABS pens, trying to come up with a solution before returning

To start I have the xtool F1. I got a pen from a company that I'm guessing printed on with their logo, phone no, etc. same type of pen, little level and mini ruler on it. I work in the trades, people always like them, find them cool and whatnot. Would never use it, but it is a cool little novelty thing and gets people talking.

Regardless, I was excited to find some off Amazon and get some done up for myself, and sell some to others. Well, here's my mistake. It's ABS and I didn't notice when ordering them, I did it hastily and I'm stuck. I probably could return them, I'm not in the market for a UV engraver.

I was thinking of trimming some aluminum and glueing it on and engraving that. I would have to do it by hand as my laser won't cut through metal.

Do you guys have any ideas? Or am I pretty much toast?

Thanks

Can someone help me find what kind of bulb this lamp takes? Google wasn't any help

The title says most of it. Really like this lamp we got used at a thrift store. But it didn't come with a bulb. Everything I've looked at at home Depot didn't match up. Thanks

Edit: yes I saw type a bulb. Thanks guys. Anything is search online for type A is all screw in bulbs and Google just tells me that the A is for arbitrary shape. Doesn't seem to be a G9, it's not a G10. I might replace the socket, but if I can just pick one up I'm not gonna go through the hassle

Edit 2: I was thinking it was an MR or G10. I know it says type a, but type a just means arbitrary shape... Everything that came up was for larger sockets and threads. It's just a very small threaded bulb for the socket size.

Took a bulb from a night light I had and it fits. Never seen a socket that big for such a small bulb. Lol. Whoops

[Hiring] LF a graphic designer to create a logo for my company

I've been incorporated as a contractor for a year now in the Oilfield. I have currently started growing quite a bit and am looking for someone to expand on my current design.

I would like something simple, clean, timeless, and memorable.

I am in Canada so payment would have to be made in a way that would work for the both of us. Canadian creators would get priority.

Please DM, I would like to see a portfolio. Working with companies in the construction industry would be an asset.

I'm looking for a professional. Not someone using AI to make a quick buck.

Thanks, looking forward to chatting with you
