Great Ball Point Pens

There was a sort of ballpoint pen my family used when I was young and which had been lost to me for many, many years. Nothing fancy or precious, those pens simply worked dependably and felt perfect in the hand, neither weighty nor flimsy. They were made by Papermate, but these, from Parker, are very similar, and my life's been just a little bit better for having found them.

The above link is for a ten pack on Amazon, but I found much cheaper five-packs on eBay.
