Well, in addition to the somewhat snarky answers, I seem to recall a
metal tipped pen that left a nice deposit on the glass. Was the tip
titanium? It's been 19 years since I saw one (at Penland - no pun
intended!). Glassblowers used it to sign their work. So, what is it
called, and where can I - & the OP - get one?
Thanks,
Joe

Back in the good old days (we're talking ancient history here) when I took
mechanical drawing in college, a pen called Rapidograph was popular. It had
a stainless steel nib, and was something like the pen you describe.

They also make a electic engraver by inland...
http://www.delphiglass.com/index.cfm?page=itemView&itemsysid=126026
but you can find the same thing at A.C.Moore or Michaels (or any of
the
larger craft type chainstores)....I use one all the time to sign my
work...
It is worth the investment...
BTW, it would be kind of neat to have each one sign and with this it
would
be very permanent
