Regarding these floating action or "floaty" pens, which were sold over the years at both the Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers, I am curious to know what other designs may have been produced beyond these six that are in my collection. - Saturn V (marked Kennedy Space Center)
- Two lunar EVA astronauts (marked Manned Spacecraft Center)
- Space shuttle EVA astronaut (marked Spaceport USA)
- Space shuttle launch (marked Johnson Space Center)
- LM ascent launch (marked Manned Spacecraft Center)
- Lunar Rover (marked Johnson Space Center)
By the way, all of these pens are marked "made in Denmark" and are made by Eskesen, which is still in business producing floaty pens today!

I found a few more in recent weeks — even one early shuttle launch version from Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center and an Apollo Soyuz still sealed on the card!

SpaceX is now selling its own pack of five floaty pens. Includes: Starship, F9, Occupy Mars, Dragon and Starlink. I must say they are very nicely done. Of course, these are not as cheaply made as the ones from Denmark that we collected. My favorite is the Starship going back into the Mechazilla!
