Black Snorkel Clipper #2037

 

There is a Black Snorkle Clipper on eBay with barrel no. 2037.  The post is at: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/315792725338

 

 

And a Special Edition too!

Interesting.  What makes it a Special Edition?  When it was released?  (The pen in question has apparently sold).

It's not a special edition, except in the imagination of the seller. My comment was sarcastic.

Three new numbers.

Since my last post I have seen three new numbered Snorkels on eBay:

• Black Snorkel Admiral #1268 with M2 nib (no photo). https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/256671162651
• Burgundy Snorkel Admiral #1413 with F2 nib.  (photo below). https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/305908776015
