Made in W. Germany

Last Saturday, there was some kind of special street market in this city. Most shops downtown
had their own stand and sold kind of outlet items. They organise such an event from time to time
and it’s pretty successful. I often find some interesting bargains: fashionable and good quality
pantyhoses (for 1 euro or so, just because they’re from years ago...but still perfect and nice), some
silver earrings (I got some for 5 or 4 euros once)...and this time I got, for 0,50 euro, some kind of paper fastening stuff (rapesco’s Supaclip)....and 3 fountain pens ( 1 euro each). I like using
fountain pens and I got a crush on a couple of colourful ones (Inoxcrom, Spanish brand) and an old Pelikan one,
very old since it’s written on it “W. Germany”. I like it when I find items that were made back then. It’s somehow odd to be able to buy West-german products. Many things were better at that time....I might be kind of nostalgic about my childhood in the 1980es..
