I'm Thinking of Something,..

[Edward]

Uh oh, I made a mistake. I said this item is predominately metal, but as it turns out, it is predominately Celluloid!
there is metal used in it's construction but not as much as I first thought!

 

[Michael74]

Amen, praise the Lord. I give the Lord all glory for my healing. May the Lord bless you brother.

Is the picture/numbers fixed, or can the numbers produced on paper be adjusted?

If the ink isn't stamped on paper, is it rolled on?

 

[Edward]

The picture/numbers are not fixed and I suppose you could say that in a way it is totally adjustable with regard what you want it to lay onto the paper. Any numbers, any letters or any picture!

It is not rolled onto the paper but is more of a capillary action.

 

[Michael74]

Is it a pen?

 

[Edward]

Yes and no. It is but not a usual type of pen that most people are used to.

 

[Michael74]

A fountain pen?

 

[Edward]

Tada, Fountain pen! That is correct. :yes

 

[Michael74]

I did use a fountain pen when I was younger. My parents bought me one. I got ink all over my hands, and switched back to a ball point pen. Simpler to use.

Okay, I'm thinking of something.

 

[Edward]

Is it metal?

 

[Michael74]

Usually plastic. You could make one out of metal if you wanted to.

 

[Tessa]

Is it small?

 

[Michael74]

The one's I know about are approximately a foot long.

 

[Tessa]

Did they ever make them out of wood?,

 

[Michael74]

Yes they did.

 

[Tessa]

Can it help you draw straight lines?

 

[Michael74]

Yes, although that is not its primary purpose.

 

[Tessa]

Can it measure things?

 

[Michael74]

That is not its primary purpose. I suppose you could use it to measure the length of things though. Might have to do a bit of conversion.

 

[Tessa]

I'm Stuck now
Will have to go and think

 

[Michael74]

A hint, it is a vintage product, like Edward's product was. Still in use, but not by very many people.

It can be made out of a variety of materials would be a better answer to Edward's question. Wood, plastic, and metal are examples.
