NOS \'Cougar\' Executive Desk Set
Lunch Pail Parts brings you rare, obsolete Genuine Ford goodies, but this one takes the cake!This pen stand was a souvenir for certain people involved with Mercury\'s T-7 program, the Mustang-derived model that eventually became known as \'Cougar\'. As you read on, take a close look at the high-res photos.It was made by Woodstock Die Casting (\'WDC\'). Famous for high-precision cast metal parts under the \'Prestolite\' brand, WDC was a remnant of a larger firm — the Electric Autolite™ Co. — largely absorbed by Ford in 1961.The \'Prestolite\' trademark appears on \'Deluxe line\' trim for many 1965 - 1968 Ford and Mercury cars, including 1965 - 1967 Mustang GT fog lamp bars and fender badges. As you might guess, WDC also made the headlight cover plaques found on Mercury\'s new-for-\'67 Cougar.I\'m told WDC was asked to design a gift for Mercury big shots, commemorating the Cougar press intro. Ingeniously, they used the headlamp plaque as decoration modifying it to fit Parker\'s model 21 \'Spherix\' fountain pen...a pricey, top-drawer executive instrument, at the time.So, WDC altered the casting with drilled & threaded posts, sitting in a custom milled walnut base with a large Alnico magnet. Thus, the Spherix\'s ball-shaped receiver is held in place via magnetism, nesting perfectly within a small, concave spot at top-right on the plaque.You\'re looking at the real deal, a small piece of Genuine Ford history and a guaranteed conversation piece. Best of all, there\'s so don\'t miss out!
