+Deckyon Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 (edited) I have just been given a website (run by a friend of mine) that offers personalized pencils. From full sized to golf-sized. They can have from 1 to 3 lines of personalized text. Example, 3 lines, golf-sized (no eraser) 5 gross for right at $40 (USD) I have ordered 5 gross w/out erasers and 3 lines and will be using them as sig/trade items. With all the talk lately about signature items and geocoins, these are an innexpensive item that people can get a lot of. They are great for events and can even have coordinates printed on them (you can get less than 5 gross for special orders). Website: http://www.write-on-pencils.com [Disclaimer] I am not receiving anything special for making this announcement. I just thought I would pass on an idea for signature items that would be both usefull and unique to the cacher.

+carleenp Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I have always liked Cool-Valley Pencils too. Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Wow, for 47.52 you can get 720 golf sized pencils with erasers with the following text on them: Cache Pencil, Do Not Take! --Marky Quote Link to comment
+The Weasel Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 I have always liked Cool-Valley Pencils too. Hey Carleen, I was putting my shelving unit up last weekend and found that I had found one of your pencils at some point and time for cache near me. It was in Victor Iowa off of I-80!!

+Deckyon Posted March 10, 2004 Author Share Posted March 10, 2004 Not only that, but they could be a micro-clue w/ Lat/Long or the clue written. There is a place to get smaller numbers of pencils. Quote Link to comment
+Ed Rad Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I found that personalized golf tees are really cheap also. I have a big ol' box at home. Quote Link to comment

+woodsters Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 lol Johnny Vegas, I thought the same thing. I mighyt have to get some Woodsters Outdoors ones made up. This is perfect now that we started playing Disc Golf too. Quote Link to comment
+Mastifflover Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Thanks for the info I will be placing an order for some. I have been thinking about what to get for a sig item. Quote Link to comment
+Fritz_Monroe Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Not only that, but they could be a micro-clue w/ Lat/Long or the clue written. There is a place to get smaller numbers of pencils. Why get smaller quantities. At that price you can afford to put them anywhere. How about this, get them printed with coordinates and a web page. People go to the page and find the date you will hide the cache at those coordinates. Just prior to that date, make your drop of the next clue in your multi. No listing on the site or anything. Keeps the cache around the locals. Just an idea of what to do with these. F_M Quote Link to comment
+Deckyon Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Well, you dont want 720 pencils with the same lat/long on it for a single multi... I like your idea... [thinking] Quote Link to comment
+Fritz_Monroe Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 (edited) Maybe not, but they are pretty cheap. Can put out a fifty or a hundred. Then after the cache date, use them as a sig item. Just thinking of some good ways to use a bunch of pencils. F_M edit: Forgot to add that I recal seeing some sort of printing press to emboss things like pencils. Kind of along the lines of those golf ball monograming presses. Edited March 12, 2004 by Fritz_Monroe Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I ordered my pencils, Now I have to hide 720 caches or put 720 pencils in one cache hhmmmm Quote Link to comment
+Bilder Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Pretty cool idea. Thanks for the link Quote Link to comment
nickie218 Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I also researched to find a good sig item for an event I am co-hosting in Florida. I found a site that offers 250 wooden nickels for around $70 that included s&h. You can have the wooden nickels printed with whatever you want(both sides). The site is ituit.com the guy I spoke with is Steve, he was very friendly and might give you a discount if you mention geocaching. He also has pre-printed nickles in stock at a great price.
