FP400PPCL: Fisher Purple Haze Bullet Space Pen with Clip

Fisher Space Pen

The inspiration behind the name of Fisher's 400PP, now known as the Purple Haze Bullet Space Pen, comes from the purple stratospheric haze that glows around Titan, Saturn’s largest moon.  A beautiful interaction of gases and particles colliding nearly 350 miles above Titan’s surface culminates in a haunting violet glow. Though in full disclosure, they are also fans of Jimi Hendrix’s Purple Haze, so either one works! When closed, Bullet Space Pens are the perfect size to carry in your wallet, pocket, purse, car glove box, organizer, or toolbox. When open, it's a full-sized, evenly balanced writing instrument.

The original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in July of 1948. Paul Fisher was soon machining a new pen design shaped from solid aluminum. It became the first Fisher ballpoint pen, the 400 Bullet Pen, and arguably the most popular pen of the twentieth century. This pen is now all brass with a Purple Haze Translucent finish and a Clip.

Cited as an outstanding example of industrial art, the classic design of the Fisher Bullet Pen has been exhibited for years in the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Bullet's timeless styling has been the topic of many art books and magazine articles. Often imitated, but never duplicated, the Fisher Bullet continues to be their most popular pen.
