BLACK POWER MARK
Still more markers from SF. DIET - HTK coming up on all kinds of marker finds.
QUARTET DRY ERASE
Quartet is a dollar store brand that produces good quality product. Solid plastic construction. Chisel Tip. Makes nice dark ink lines. Really good ink quality for a dry erase, which usually contains lighter black or brownish tint inks. Made in China. Has bilingual french-english body text so I surmise that it was made for the Canadian market.
SANFORD EXPO 2 DRY ERASE
I have several versions of this marker, all with different body markings and designs. This one has dark grey color blocking, interspersed with the familiar EXPO wordmarks and labeling. Bullet tip. This thing is close to drying out. Makes fading inconsistent lines right now. Still has a medium-strength ink odor.
EGAN MARKERS
This takes the familiar silhouette of the Sanford Dry Erase Expo, and slaps it's own branding, copy and wordmarks on it. This Egan company is located north of here in Woodbridge. What was this marker doing all the way in San Francisco ? Nice thick chisel tip. Nib is a bit soft. Has that classic dry erase marker smell. Makes smooth black ink lines.
SANFORD POWER MARK
I had the Wedge Tip version, now I have the Bullet Tip. Came from Pearl Paints, so I guess DIET had it in his own stash for a while. Solid plastic construction. Bullet tip. Makes REALLY dark black ink lines, runs smooth. No bleed. An excellent quality marker. Made in USA. Surprisingly, no odor on this one.
MESSAGESTOR MARKER
This is a mystery of a marker. I peeped the website info attached www.cri2000.com and it goes to a page called Combined Resources International. Seems like an import/export place that sells a bunch of brands, including MessageStor. Which I guess is a marker and writing instrument brand. Anyways, this marker is made out of solid plastic. Medium grey labeling on white background. Not the greatest branding/wordmark for MessageStor. Not a really good name for a company either. Bullet tip. Makes smooth, dark black ink lines. Faint alcohol odor. Pretty good, although awkwardly branded, product.
