It seems like the Speaker is writing each letter with a different pen. Is this ceremonial or something else?

The President will use a different pen for each letter and present them to co-sponsors, major civic allies, etc.

Presidents do it all the time for bill signings so they can give pens to people instrumental in the passage of the legislation.

Maybe some enterprising person will make commemorative replicas and sell them on Amazon or ebay.
