Fisher Space Pen: The Bullet

In manufacturing, it is not often that a design becomes instantly classic or iconic. It takes a lot of time, appreciation by its peers, and a track record of proven success to show a design’s true place historically within its respective category. The Bullet Pen has become not only an iconic design for Fisher Space Pen Co., but an example of industrial art itself, which is why this pen design is still held in the permanent collection of the New York Museum of Modern Art.

Conceived in 1948 by Paul C. Fisher, the Bullet has been a part of pop culture over the past half-century. Seen on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and being the focus of the Seinfeld episode entitled ‘The Pen’, this highly sought-after space pen keeps customers coming back, from generation to generation.

When closed, the Bullet is 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 that performs in the most unique environments. Like all Fisher Space Pens, this pen will write in zero-gravity, upside down, underwater, over oil and grease, in -30 to +250 degrees Fahrenheit, and three times longer than the average ballpoint pen. Whether you’re a trade professional, writer, teacher, artist, executive, or just someone who appreciates a premium writing experience at an affordable price, this space pen is for you!

The Bullet design is timeless and elegant, yet it is also extremely durable, something that most ballpoint pens are not known for. When someone says “I’ve got a Space Pen!”, most of the time they are referring to the Bullet. Again, further evidence of its popularity and solidifying its place in history as a “classic” in the ballpoint pen industry.
