Sheaffer 100 Friends of Winter - Pine Ballpoint Pen

Description

Sheaffer Pen Group brand manager Gretchen Dickenson said in a statement about the launch of the Friends of Winter collection, that the Bamboo, Pine, and Plum designs depicted, hold a symbolic meaning of fortitude, inspiring one to preserve and flourish under adversity.
When presented together, they signify a lasting friendship, to those friends who are faithful to each other in difficult times. Culturally, Pine, Plum, and Bamboo are significant to winter, because while other plants wither, and become dormant, together they hold their ground and flourish at this time of the season.
Since the Pine withstands the strong cold winds, it's symbolic for endurance, whereas the Bamboo bends with the wind and survives in a contrasting way. Plum blossom, symbolizes perseverance and integrity, due to the early flowering while snow still on the ground, and also longevity because of the evergreen qualities of the Bamboo, and Pine, and because of the Plum blossoms reappearing on their age-old branches.
Great style of pen with significant meaning behind it. Writes fantastically, and great conversation starter!
