They Really Were . . . All Right, That Is

These turn up every once in a while, but they are pretty easy to overlook since they are a little bit newer than most collectors prefer.  Almost always when you see these, they are in black and are advertising pieces.  The light blue one was a bit unusual to find.  The most striking feature about these to me is the clip, which is kind of like an Eversharp Fifth Avenue clip, but without the center part . . .
