But i personally think "iconic" implies something that goes beyond a single individual's view and is something more broadly seen as a significant and recognizable artifact within a culture and time. Otherwise the people can just shout out any item they want.
but honestly these threads come up from time to time here and on that other board (*spits*) and they all go exactly like this. There are few post that shout out some genuinely iconic pens and try to stay within the bounds of something reasonable, some absurdities, some borderline cases devolving into a semantics argument, and then someone will post the dictionary definition and then someone says Parker 51 . . .
The wheel. It go round.
