UPDATE: The mystery has been solved by the wonderful and talented Janet K Miller: “TMC is Tucson Medical Center (Well, it’s a lot of things, but the saguaro cactus that figures prominently in the pen is the clue that solves the puzzle). I bet they gave these to every baby born there!”

Mystery pen – cocktail
(Pen 1985, Drawer 16) International pens of mystery! These six pens were bought in Vancouver. They are not Eskesen, but that is all that we know about them. If I hadn’t had to spend hours removing the very sticky price tags from the most prominent part of the pens I might have had ime to do some research. Edit: They are designed by the very cool people at Gama-Go – no more information for now

Bingo
(Pen 2036, Drawer 78) Bingo played in the UK (90 ball bingo) is not to be confused with bingo played in the US (75 ball bingo), as the tickets and the calling are slightly different – This pen is definitely a US Bingo pen, but still a lot of fun.

Dialog in the Dark
(Pen 2078, Drawer 78) The concept of Dialogue (or Dialog in the US) in the Dark is simple: visitors are lead by blind guides in groups through specially constructed dark rooms in which scent, sound, wind, temperature and texture convey the characteristics of daily environments – for example a park, a city, a boat cruise or a bar. The daily routines become a new experience. A reversal of roles is created: people who can see are taken out of their familiar environment. Blind people provide them with security and a sense of orientation by transmitting to them a world without pictures. The tour itself lasts for about one hour but the effects can last a lifetime.

Stella Maris
(Pen 2162, Drawer 130) This pen is so cute, it had to be Japanese – you can imagine how happy I was to find it is for a Japanese Catholic school. It has a small girl walking towards the school, accompanied by butterflies, a dog, a goose and a chicken. A pink elephant is waving his trunk from the zoo, and there are pretty blossoms everywhere – definitely Japanese
OMG, WTF is the BFD?
(Pen 2169, Drawer 130) I had to look these abbreviations up. The pen is called “Murray’s Law” I also looked that up, but can’t see how it relates to the pen, unless this is much more high-brow than those in the rest of the Design Design inc. series.
