| Place-specific pens that don't fall into any other regional category. These pens are all gifts or special acquisitions, we have visited none of these places ourselves. |

Franz Josef, New Zealand A wonderful gift from Yannick. A man with a stick glides across a glacier. | |
Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe *A gift from the manufacturer* Wow, this pen is pure action! | |
East Japan Train Collection *A gift from the manufacturer* Definitely our most exotic location not visited! Very cute background including a snowman wearing a fez, a windmill, The Sphinx, an ice cream cone, a star constellation and much more(?) | |
S.S. Canberra I have very fond memories of cruising on this ship when I was 10 years old, long before my floaty obsession began. I was sad to hear that it had been sold for scrap in 1997. You can imagine my delight to see this souvenir pen come up for Auction on Ebay. The ship floats from Dover, via Athens and Istanbul, to the Pyramids of Egypt. Slightly worryingly, the 'White Cliffs of Dover' wobble a little when the pen is tilted! | |
Cigar pen Possibly Cuban? The smoke floats in and out of the cigar. Back panel: "I cannot smoke cigars in Heaven. I shall not go" Mark Twain. | |
