I tested it out, and the ink came out, but since it's a few years old, the ink may be difficult to flow. Please be aware of this. The ballpoint pen body has some stains. There are areas where the printing has peeled off. It shows signs of use. Please check the photos for the stains and the remaining ink level. It will be wrapped in cushioning material. Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item. SNOOPY
