Gilbert desk pen fan

Picked this little guy up also.  Oiled it and you can hardly hear it which I assume was by design.

Thanks,   I know there is no chance of finding original pens for it so I will pick up a matching pair eventually.

I'm pretty sure Gilbert did not make the pens but rather used "off the shelf" pens.

What brand?, IDK. Anybody know?

Surely the pens were mass produced.

The little Gilbert desk fan is such a novelty.   I had one sitting on my desk for years.   I had pens in mine which were not original but looked correct.

AWESOME find Anthony! The pen will not be that hard to source.

I have one still awaiting newly cast holder 🙄

Not going there again!

George is a good friend.  He helps me out.  He helps me out without expecting anything in return.

I totally get the nothing in return part.

...watch were your hand is going when going for a pen...

And where your pens are
going when returning
them to their holders.
