These Donald Trump Sharpie Markers are 100% authentic and were all made by the request of Donald Trump for his use in signing his autograph/signature on Executive Orders, Bill Signing, his books, MAGA hats, photos and more! There were basically three times that these Sharpie Markers were produced as far as the wording on them is concerned. The one for sale in this listing is the second version that Donald Trump would throw & pass out during his rallies leading up to his second term in the White House! This is my favorite one of all of them because his autograph on the marker is the best quality! But this Sharpie marker in this listing is when he was between his first term and his second term when he was doing many rallies and he would throw the Sharpie Markers out into the audience. The first ones also has the words THE WHITE HOUSE on the opposite side of his autograph. The Sharpie Marker used while not in office as the President, only had his name on the one side. The Sharpie Marker that is being used now, for his second term, has the words THE WHITE HOUSE on the opposite side, a little bit smaller words than on the first term Sharpie Marker. These first term Sharpie Markers are older and have been handled more frequently but not used as far as the ink inside is concerned. Some, and even the newer ones may have been used a little to test them out of curiosity. The reason I’m mentioning all this is because in one sense, all the Sharpie Markers, technically, are used as far as time goes (but not in usage) but they may be anywhere from less than one year to eight years old depending on what time they were made and used by Donald Trump! Whichever Trump Sharpie Marker you buy, you will have a great piece of history and a hard to get piece of Trump memorabilia. So in my best way of describing these Sharpie Markers, the way that I list them, unless they are in really bad shape or damaged badly, they are listed as new but with possible signs of handling some aging. So the ones that I sell are from all three time periods and are listed as new if they are in good condition! All this said, they are all Donald Trump and or White House issued! Please look carefully at the pictures because each Sharpie Marker I sell, are the ones listed! What you see is what you are buying and receiving. One last note! Everything I just mentioned is technically so but the Sharpie Markers did pass through and were carried over into each time span. So while Sharpie Markers were being made for a new transition, the prior one that was being used would be used for a small amount of time in the new transition period. And that’s why sometimes, what was generally being used during the time Donald Trump was not a setting President, was carried over into his second term for a brief period while a new order was being processed! The same is true during his first term leading into the time he was not a setting President. The Cross pens (three different ones) that are often seen on eBay were from his first term in the White House. A gray Sharpie Marker with black ink was used for a short time after the Cross pens before the large black Sharpie Marker became the signature signing tool for President Donald Trump. I have everyone of these writhing/signing instruments in my display. I know I have said a lot but I hope it has not confused anyone or lessened the view of any of the Trump Sharpie Markers because this is exactly what they are! They were made for him and handed out by him! Some of these have made their way to eBay but they were never a retail product or been anything less than authentic! The ones I sell have come from people that are in one way or the other, associated with the President Donald Trump/White House! There is a "new kid on the block" now! Its a gold Sharpie marker that also writes gold. It too has his name one one side and the words "THE WHITE HOUSE" on the opposite side. President Trump occasionally uses this marker when signing his name as an autograph on something that a black marker will not show up as good. This too is definitely real and a legit Donald Trump collectors item!
