FaberCastell Pencil Sharpener

Here we have a FaberCastell TV Pencil Sharpener still in the orginal packaging. These plastic TV sharpeners are getting hard to find. Unlike the Sterling Plastic ones, this one was made in Hong Kong, still a great find. You just do not see these anymore and to find one still on the cardboard is rare. One should be in your collection.

TNT Playing Cards

While I always carry a notebook of some kind, I do like cards. At one time it was Scan Cards but now I find these Top Notch Teacher Playing Cards. Same size as playing cards, nice stock paper in many different colors. Put some in your notebook or pocket. Made by the Top Notch Teacher Products of Kerrville Texas 78029. Always something new.

Other Pentel Pens

In the past I have shown my Pentel Roller Ball collection. Most of them were from the 70s and up to the early 80s. These pens here are newer. The fourteen on the left side are rollers and the nine on the right are ball points. On the left we start with the P300, 3 each SP 308s, green SR 300, SR 10, Disney pen with no model number, black and blue R-4s (New versions of the original R-4s), Pentel Sign Pen, current version of the Excalibur, pentel k611, R-50 roller and the Super-fine Pentel SF 70. On the right you have the RC 20 clicroller, RC 26 clicroller, Disney RC 36 clicroller, Graphgear 1000 .05 mm Pen, Graphgear 1000 .07 mm Pen, B1000 Ball Pen, BR 607 Selfit, Energel multi pen, and the HP 803 Super 8. I will say this about the roller ball pens, my other collection of R3s through Excalibur's from the 70s and up to the 84 Olympics are much better made then the current group of SR rollers ( original R-4 is better then the newer R-4 in the picture). The good ones seem to have stopped after the 84 Olympics when pentel changed design. Still, all should be in your collection.

Mont Blanc Pens and Pencil

I guess no collection is complete without something from Mont Blanc. Here are the ones in my collection. I believe they are the Mont Blanc Meisterstuck models except for the stainless steel roller on the right. You have a ball point, .05 pencil, black and red roller and a stainless steel roller. All the rollers use the same refill. Non are currently in use. Pencil needs some work. Most of these are around $100.00 each but the stainless steel roller was about $35.00 in the 80s and I bought it in Germany. The rollers are nice writing pens and now that I have posted them I may pull one out to use. One should be in your collect.

Scripto T210 Ball Point Pens

Here we have two versions of the Scripto T210 Ball Point Pen. I have seen them listed under different names and as always with Scripto there is confusion as to how many different models were made and when. That has always been the appeal of collecting Scripto. This pen is from the 50s. In the picture there are two types shown. On the left is the older model which has a small metal lip on top of the pocket clip to retract the point. The five pens on the right have the upgrade to the red button. They go by names like Super Dollar and Push Button Ball pen. These colors reflex the 50s and the blue two tone is the only one that currently works. Some were used for advertising and others were matched with a P360 pencil. There are other models out there like the Prestige which I do not have yet.

Pentel Roller Ball Pens

Since I added the 24K gold Pentel Roller to my collection it is about time I show how it fits in the collection. These are all Pentel and range from the mid 70s to the 90s. Starting on the left you have three types of R-3s, black, green, blue and red R-4s, gold R-6, three R-7s. Next is the sterling silver and 24K gold rollers, two Lancelot's ( one being the 25th Anniversary pen), five Excalibur's and a SP300. I consider these pens to be one of my best collections.

Scripto Escort Ball Pen

Here we have a nice counter display of Scripto Escort pens. Late 60s maybe early 70s. The Escort pen was a model T550, gold one on the end is a T550G. On the right of the display is a Escort pen T550 and pencil P580 set in red and a Gold Escort model P580G pencil. None of the pens currently work. Refills for the older Scripto pens can not be found. This is one of the reasons why collecting Scripto pencils has always been more popular. I will be showing more of my Scripto pen collection in future posts to include those that do still write.
