Description

An orbital pen branded for Cando Oilfield Supplies. A white orbital pen with black details branded to Cando Oilfield Supplies. The orbital pen is in a white cardboard box with black and pink details. The front of the box features three thin grey lines with a thicker pink line creating a circle and lining the bottom of the box. A small circle cutout is placed in the middle of the outlined circle. At the bottom, breaking the lines is pink text reading, "orbital". The back of the box also displays the grey and pink lines, lining the bottom of the back face with the top line extending out, creating a rectangular shape. Within the rectangle are pink illustrations of instructions on how to set up the orbital pen. Pink text is placed on either side of the back reading, "patent pending", and "made in Italy". The bottom side of the box has a single thick pink line and a single, thin grey line with pink text breaking the lines, and reads, "penna a equilibria magnetic–magnetic balanced pen". The top side of the box displays the same lines, but the pink text reads, "stylo à equilibre magnetique–der kugel–schreiber mit magnetischem gleichgewicht". The pen is white with a broader base. The base also displays multiple rows of black dots. The base of the pen tapers down to the tip of the ballpoint pen. The orbital holder is a small, white and cylindrical. The holder has a black centre that tapers down for the pen to sit in. The top face displays arched, black text at the bottom reading, "(403) 955-3777 CANDO OILFIELD SUPPLIES". At the top is a black outline of a maple leaf with a small oil derrick in the centre. The bottom of the holder is black plastic with debossed text reading, "Made in Italy - Patent Pending", and "USA Patent N.4.643.604". The pen and the holder are kept within a moulded, white plastic container, which slides into the cardboard box.
