PAPERMATE Ballpoint Pen Retractable Stored at home. Slim gold-colored design. Hasn't been used for a long time, and the ink is gone, but it's still in beautiful condition. Collectors, don't miss out! PAPERMATE was born in 1949 when Patrick Frawley, who worked for a trading company in San Francisco, developed "ink that doesn't bleed or fade" with scientists, creating the new ballpoint pen "Paper Mate." Its comfort quickly became a hot topic, and it spread rapidly throughout the United States, especially gaining overwhelming support from bankers.
