  • U.S. Presidential pens are often uniquely manufactured and engraved so that they can be given away as gifts, usually to someone who was significant in the creation of the bill or who is otherwise symbolically related to the bill. Other times the president uses several different pens to sign different copies of the same document so there will be enough to go around. They become the treasured keepsakes of the legislature and other people who worked to push the specific issue being signed into law. The giving of the pen has long been a time-honored tradition of the U.S. presidency. But few recent presidents have used pens as often as the late President Ronald Reagan. source: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/265791
