Drug Rep Lot of Two Scarce NOS/Working PROTONIX® Promotional BP Pens *EX*This offer is for a lot of two different colored, scarce, new old stock (NOS) vintage early 2000's Pharmaceutical Industry Drug Rep promotional PROTONIX® IV/PO quality plastic ballpoint pens supply 'gifts' given to health care providers. Both of the ballpoint pens are fully working/functional with their original black ink cartridges. Each pen can be opened to replace the ink cartridge, if and when needed. See the attached images #4 & #5 which demonstrate the four parts to each pen: the barrel, cap, spring and ink cartridge (aka ink tube). Both pens have a transparent colored (blue or yellow) plastic barrel with a one-inch in length blue colored rubberized grip. The clickers are smooth and functions as intended.
Both pens work as intended. See attached image #3 as the seller used each corresponding pen to write a line on a piece of white paper to demonstrate that each pen will still write as intended. Generally, the ink ballpoint pen cartridges tend to dry-out with time especially those over ten years old so this is an exceptional collection since both pens are at least 15 years old.
Both pens are considered scarce as they were distributed in the early 2000's and the pens still work as intended. The Protonix® pens were distributed by the Wyeth Pharmaceutical reps shortly after the IV dosage form was approved by the FDA in March 2001. Each pen has graphics for the oral and IV dosage form (see attached photo numbers #1 & 2 or #7 & 8). The two pens in the offer were distributed to promote the IV dosage form to health care providers practicing in hospitals and other institutional care facilities.
Sometime around the years 2004 to 2005 the drug companies began to pull back on handing out such promotional supply 'gifts' to medical health providers due to public awareness and their subsequent complaints to state and local officials. From that point in time, for a variety of reasons, there was significantly less distribution of such 'gifts'. So, this collection is from a time period that does not exist today.
The pens are new old stock and were never used. The two pens write with their original black ink cartridges. See the attached image #3 for a demonstration line drawn from each pen. Overall, the seller would estimate the pens to be in excellent/like new condition.
