Classic Eskesen Float Pen Promotes Taiwans Grand Hotel

Taiwan's Grand Hotel Advertise Floaty Pen by Eskesen
Float pens have been charming collectors for nearly 60 years. Each pen has a photo image that floats back and forth or up and down inside a clear window. There was a time when float pens were commonly found at tourist traps, airports, museums, amusement parks and travel plazas, but they have disappeared from many locations. Thank heaven collectors can rely on the Internet for these little gems.

Wikipedia.com provided some background info: The Grand Hotel, completed in 1973, is a landmark located atop a hill overlooking Taipei City, Taiwan, Republic of China. It is owned by the Duen-Mou Foundation of Taiwan, a non-profit organization, and has played host to many foreign dignitaries that have visited Taipei.

Three men carry a paper Chinese dragon between the Grand Hotel in the backdrop and decorative arches in the foreground.

The caption panel, on the backside of the pen, includes: 'GRAND HOTEL, TAIWAN' in green, over bands of red and orange.

If you are unfamiliar with Eskesen floaty pens... this is a picture of an Eskesen pen in their classic style.

The top portion of the pen is a clear window where the artwork is displayed. Roll the pen over and the 'caption panel' is on the backside. Classic style pens have a metal pocket clip. The tip and body of the pen are usually in matching colors, but not always. Twist the corrugated tip, at the bottom of the pen, to expose/retract the writing point. I do have refills for this style.
