Description |
JoAnn Semones' Book Signing Pens, c. 2007-2015. 2 ballpoint pens, bag, and box, used by JoAnn Semones at her book signings. Pens (A and B) are identical, matte black with gold metal details. The tips are capped in gold; about two thirds of the way down the pen is a ridged gold band; the last section behind the band has a gold clip with a black stripe running down it and a narrow gold cap on the end. This section also twists to extend and retract the ballpoint tip. Approximately where a writer would hold their thumb is written "THE GLENCANNON PRESS / MARITIME BOOKS" in gold. Bag (C) is blue felt, long and narrow, made of one strip of material folded over at the bottom and sewn up the sides. A rounded flap on one side extends at the top, though it has no fastenings. Box (D) is long, narrow, and rectangular, in two pieces (a base and a lid), both made of sturdy lightly textured blue paper. A glossy white sticker along the lid reads "SEMONES BOOK SIGNING PENS". |
