Ball point pens are a ubiquitous marvel.

They are everywhere. The price ranges from free to hundreds of dollars. They are an engineering marvel. But are they a collectible like fountain pens or watches?

My friend George F wrote a book about collecting fountain pens. I wonder if such a thing exists for ball points? The results of a quick search using my Knows Everything Machine are ambigious.

How many ball point pens do you own? Is that a collection? If creatively mounted they would look like art.
