1946 Reynolds Rocket ballpoint pen in Aluminum
Condition: Fair
Uses standard Parker ballpoint refills.
The back end of the barrel is closed with a friction-fit plug, not threaded.

A piece of writing history, the Reynolds Rocket was the first ballpoint to be marketed in the USA. It spoiled the launch of the original Eversharp ballpoint and possibly led to the downfall of Eversharp itself. Apparently style was not included with this pen. It looks like something fashioned in a garage - a stark contrast to the Eversharp Fifth Avenue which premiered just a few months later.
This pen has been converted to use a modern ballpoint refill.
