Who makes this pen?

You guys know the one. The metal rollerball that they give you at conferences and promo events with a company logo silk-screened onto it. I have two but I like them so much that I want to keep them everywhere; desk, cars, house drawers, everywhere. Now I have done some searching and found a few promotional companies that will sell a sample one with their logo on it for 5 bucks or so, but I don't want to fiddle with 15 different sites. I even contemplated ordering like 20 of the things with some random logo or my initials or something but most of the promo companies start at quantities of 50 or 100 for an order and there is a base charge of around $60 included to set up the machines.

Is there anyone here who knows the manufacturer? I know it's a long shot as they are probably made in China somewhere and sold in bulk to these companies but I love these little guys.

I did a quick search and didn't find anything more than you. But since you don't need customization, just ask the seller to reduce the minimum order. You also won't need to pay the $60 fee for set up charge since you aren't printing anything. Just try to order 100 or so since you love them so much.

I have a few of these as well.
I suspect that as you figure out they are use in the promo industry and can only be bough in bulk. Most likely they come out of china and with that said check on www.alibaba.com. I have seen where they some times sell Bulk items in smaller quantities. This is probably you best bet at this point if you do not want to buy them with a logo on them.
