Sanrio Keroppi Promoted in Eskesen Floaty SO Kawaii!

Sanrio's Frog Character, Keroppi, Promo 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.

Eskesen has produced a number of custom designs for Sanrio over the years. Unfortunately it's been a long time since Eskesen has made a Sanrio pen. I am a Sanrio fan. For the last 10 years I have noticed Sanrio now has their floaty pens made in China. UGH. This pen is a treasure, a photoramic Eskesen.

Keroppi, Sanrio's frog character, drives a little red sedan across a desert setting. 'GET YOUR KICKS' is expelled in the exhaust from his car. A 'Route KR' sign is stuck in the sand. A marquee for the Keroppi Drive-In movie is in the foreground. So very cute!

The caption panel, on the backside of the pen, includes: Three red arrows + 'c 88-96 SANRIO' 'KEROPPI' + 'TIME' over a blue panel.

This pen is in the Classic Eskesen style.

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.
