The Ballpoint Pen Day is observed every 10th of June. Mark this day on your calendar with a ballpoint pen to celebrate this day. The day honors the ballpoint pen and marks the anniversary of the patent filing of the ballpoint pen on this day in 1943. Brothers Laszlo and Gyorgy Biro are the owners of the US Patent 2,390,636, which is better known by the world as the Ballpoint pen. After many failed attempts and failed patents by many inventors, this patent by the Hungarian brothers, which used quick-drying inks, was marked as remarkable as the invention of the fountain pen a decade before. Ballpoint Day celebrates the inventors and their contribution to the ineffaceable mark they had left on the world.
“You must get an education. You must go to school, and you must learn to protect yourself. And you must learn to protect yourself with the pen, and not the gun.” – Josephine Baker
History of Ballpoint Pen Day
Ballpoint pens were once a luxurious product available only to the rich. But today, the reality is different; they have become the cheapest and most easily disposable product. The ballpoint pen is so affordable to everyone, and this is our day to appreciate it. It has a classic design that comes out with a variety of designs and styles. It is a friendly companion that suits people of every income level. To sum it up, the Ballpoint pen will be your representative in all your business deals. Giving away a cheque or paying your bills, the ballpoint pen finds its way there to help you.
On the other side, the most expensive ballpoint pens are made from metal tubes coated with gold or silver. Not all ballpoint pens are disposable. Many of them are reusable just by replacing the refill inside the casing, just like the fountain pens. They became a permanent replacement for fountain pens being a clean and reliable alternative. However, ballpoint pens have marked their place permanently in history by being part of everyone’s life.
