I believe this pen was given to me as a one-year anniversary gift at Lotus. It has the Lotus block letter logo in the head of the pen.

These 1-2-3 for Macintosh pencils came in three colors, pink, orange and yellow. The pink one has been lost to time, the orange one is worn down and the eraser on the yellow one is a little rusty ... but hey, they're 15 years old!
