Well, that sure got a lot quicker response than the last trivia question I posted. The correct answer was posted in less than an hour and a half.
Congradulations, estee.... You do manage to keep adding to that collection of yours.
And thank you, Stan, for offering up such a cool prize.
Abayo....

Congratulations, Estee. That is the Silver Pen, though it does look like a chili pepper. It was given out at the Utopia Convention in Mexico City. I am even wearing the leather jacket that Sergio Aragones haggled for me at a bazaar.
