Information
has glosseng: A counter pen (also known as a Security pen) is a pen designed to be affixed to the counter or table of an institution, such as, typically, a bank or post office by some means, typically a chain or ball chain, complicating the accidental or purposeful removal of the pen from the counter. As an alternative, cheap ballpoint pens frequently have an artificial flower attached to the shaft of the pen by wrapping both items in florists tape. This had the dual purpose of making the pen serve as part of a somewhat tacky but acceptable counter decoration when several similar pens are grouped together in a glass container to serve as a "flower vase", but it makes the pen harder to accidentally steal when the user obviously notices that the pen is adorned with an inconvenient decorative accoutrement.
