Erasing Highlighter

Now this is neat! Did you ever highlight something that you did not want to highlight? Well, this 'pen' will 'un-highlight' your highlighted stuff. It is almost unbelievable to see. AND, it unhighlights other highlighters marks too, not just made by this one. It also says "Genealogy - the highlight of my life!" so you won't get it mixed up with all those other pens in your desk. One end is the highlighter and one end is the 'un-highlighter'. Some of you folks (ladies, mostly) have been after me to get this slimmer, sleeker model and I found it!!! Enjoy!

Micron Pigma Pen

Micron Pigma pens and Millenium pens are the greatest! Quilters use them for fabric as they are colorfast, fade proof, acid free and archival safe. Use them for scrapbooking or writing on those old paper backed photos. You can't go wrong with this pen! Point size 01.

pH Testing Pen

Lineco Archival pen. Use this pen to test paper products for acidity. It provides an easy method to distinguish between acid-free and unsafe acidic materials. The chlorophenol red solution in the pen will turn a purple / lavender color on acid-free or neutral paper with a pH of 6.8 or above. A yellow or colourless result indicates the paper is acidic. If you are making photocopies and expect them to be "safe", well, you might get a surprise! Try this.
