Description
Can you believe this simple pen once cost as much as a pair of shoes? 😱✍️
In 1938, journalist László Bíró got tired of messy fountain pens — so he invented the ballpen!
When it launched in the U.S. in 1945, it sold for $12 (that’s over $150 today) and still sold out!
From luxury invention to everyday tool, this pen literally changed how the world writes.
Stay curious. Stay inspired.
