Ball point pen came out for use after Mr. Bender died. They were only available in black and blue for many yrs. Then red came out according to some searches. Not sure if it is ball point but it looks like it. Sure hope its not a nice felt tip And yes Chad I have not seen a Spence LOA without the accompanying picture of the item ever. Maybe a memorabilia guy could chime in about this. Also the bender auto's I had posted and others I have seen had some questionable anomalies. Not saying this is not real but I think most of us have our doubts.

Wish we had a poll on this thread

#1 Real

#2 Fake

#3 Questionable

Guess we could vote in our post headline/title.
