Penol Standard ballpoint

These are two Standard ballpoint pens from the late days of Penol production in Denmark. They released the Q-Pen in 1949 and the factory shut down in 1966. I don’t know when the Standard model was in production, but I would guess that it would be the early 1960s.

One of these pens still has the “Original Q Refill” cartridge, although it no longer works, of course. The white rectangular button releases the lock and retracts the cartridge into the pen.
