[QUOTE="Lighter Karen, post: 7628, member: 166"]This logo is the logo of the Packard Automobiles and NOT Packard Pens Co. I double checked the logos. The pen is lightweight, and could be anodized aluminum or it could be gold. I am thinking it is the former and not the latter. But I have not tested it and I am afraid to do so. If it is anodized aluminum I could damage the pen ( I only have acid to test down to 10kt). The box seems to be original to the set, it came from an estate, had pencil marks on the interior (from the lead sticking out ).
