Footprints in the sand pen kit by PSI - gun metal

Footprints in the Sand ballpoint pen kit

The Footprints in the Sand ballpoint pen kit by Penn State Industries captures the timeless message of faith, hope, and reflection found in the beloved poem. The design details tell the story beautifully from top to bottom — footprints trailing along ocean waves on the cap, an excerpt from the classic poem in elegant calligraphy on the upper tube, and a single set of footprints engraved on the tip. The clip features a finely detailed cross, gracefully uniting the design.
