Scripto Ball Point Pens

 

The next few posts are going to be some new/old items that just showed up here in the supply room. Most of these Scripto pens from the late 50s,60s and early 70s you have seen here before. The new ones, for comparison are the three on the right side in boxes and the one on the right side of the display case. I just got hold of these four Scripto Prestige ball point pens. The Prestige was the expensive one during the 50s and 60s at about $1.69 per pen while the others were about $1.00. On the left side of the display are four different models of the T210. On advertising they were called Super Dollar,Dollar pen or maybe just Push Button pen. The blue two tone is a working T220 from the 70s. What a find. Scripto pencils are still the most collected item because they can be made to work but these scripto pens are starting to catch on because of their looks and the history associated with them. Add some to your collection before the supply room gets them all.

More Pedigree Erasers

 

Here is my current collection of Pedigree erasers made by the Empire Pencil Company down in Shelbyville Tennessee. Most of these are from the 70s and some should be in your collection. These items are getting harder to find.

Pentel All White

 

Here we have the Pentel all white team. They are all in current use. On the left is the K611 roller, B810 ball point pen, Tradio fountain pen, PD349 pencil, PF 337 pencil and the original ZE21 eraser. All should be in your collection.

Pedigree School Supplies

 

Another old school supply provider was Pedigree. Pedigree was made by the Empire Pencil Company in Shelbville Tennessee which is part of Hasbro who also made pencil boxes. Don't think these items are made anymore. Like the Sterling Plastic Company they dominated the school supply shelves in most stores. Sterling Plastic had the market for pencil cases, rulers and sharpeners while Pedigree had more pencils and erasers. Most of Pedigree items were made in the USA. Here we have some colored pencils, erasers and rulers of different type. I will have more erasers soon. Add some to your collection.

More New Old Stuff

Here we have have more old stuff for the supply room. On the left top is a dozen Faber-Castell red and blue pencils. The red pencils are 1277 Carmine Red and the blue pencils are 1298s, 1276s, 4125, 1283s and all have erasers. The other box has a dozen Red Dixon 134s pencils. On the right is a Pentel Sharplet-2 .05mm pencil with Mickey on the top and still on the card. Far right is a carded two pencil set, .09 mm with extra lead from the Watana Panit CO, Bangkok. Just more stuff.

New Pentel Items

Here we have some new items for the supply room. On the left is the Pentel Sharp PF 337 pencil. Used to write on film. Center we have the new Pentel B810 Sterling Ball Point pen in white. It matches my K611 Pentel roller. On the right is the Pentel Tradio TRF 101 chrome fountain pen with medium nib. This one used blue ink cartridges. Nice addition to my growing Tradio collection. The inside workings of the fountain pen are interchangeable with any of the Tradios. Made in France.

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.
