Description

Ballpoint pen commemorating the celebration of South River's 250th anniversary in 1970. The clear plastic barrel has a printed insert that reads "Happy 250th, Duschock's South River Pharmacy" and has a black band near one end. The pen cartridge is blue and visible through the barrel. The spring is also visible. The pen has a click button at the end to extend the tip and a small protrusion that fits into a hole to hold the cartridge in place while writing. Pressing on the protrusion releases the cartridge back into the plastic barrel. The pen measures 5 1/2" and is in fair condition although the spring is rusty.
