More 70s Papermate Stuff

 

We showed you the Papermate Rolli Bolli, the Chuckler pen holders some time back and now we have the green Papermate froggy. All of these pen holders came with new Papermate Malibu pens. This is another one of those 70s Papermate desk pen holders and I do not know how many different ones were made. I have been lucky because all of these holders look like they have never been used and since I took this picture I have added another green froggy. This one did not have a pen so I added a Papermate Contour Rally which will do just fine in the new froggy. This new froggy will show up in future posts. The other two carded pens in the picture are nice additions to the collection. The yellow pen is a retractable ball point pen and the blue pen is regular stick ball point. These two pens are dated 1972. Add all these great items to your collection. 

Update The Parkers

 

Here we have all my Parkers to date.  Top are the Parker Jotters, three more Jotters on second row left side then five Parker 45s and a Parker 15.  Last are the Parker Vectors. As you can see I have added the stainless steel Vector, a green camouflage to go with my sand camouflage and a green translucent. New red translucent Parker Vector is still in the package on the far right. Parker Jotters and the Parker Vectors seem to be getting more popular these days and for good reason. They are great Pens. I would almost guess that there are more Vectors then Jotters. Many companies around the world use the Vector for advertising. Three of the Parker 45s are currently out west at Mad Men getting some TV time. On a sad note I was asked to send a red Papermate Ops N Pops Pen to Mad Men for some TV time this past week and the pen got there a day late. I have asked that the pen get some TV time during the next few weeks. I am also repairing a 60s  Scripto "Twiggy" pens for Mad Men. Just type in Scripto Twiggy Pen , top left corner of the blog and you will be able to see my Twiggy Scripto Pen. Great Item. Add all these pens to your collection. 

New Pentels

 

Pentel has done a good job of adding new colors to the Sharp 200 series pencil that I first bought in Germany in the mid 70s. The first six on the left have been out for a few years now and I am sure many of you have them in your collections by know. The white one is sticking up a bit  because when I carry one of these in my shirt pocket I change out the tip to a sliding sleeve. Then the two in the middle are the silver and gold. pencils. On the right are the four new ones. All these new colors are pale but still nice. Starting on the left side of the four we have the Rose Gold, then Sky Blue, Rose Pink and last Mint. This is a classic pencil and all twelve colors should be in your collection. 

Sterling Plastic Pencil Sharpeners

 

I believe I have posted most of these SP pencil sharpeners before but I have one new addition. So far the most expensive Sterling Plastic item that I have seen is the roll top pencil box. I have seen them from $100.00 and up. I do not have one yet. What I did get was a Sterling Plastic pencil sharpener in the shape of a roll top pencil box. Bottom right is SP#603. The hole for the pencil is on the side and you roll back the pencil box to remove shavings. There does not seem to be an end to the variety of different pencil sharpeners from Sterling Plastic so I do not know how many different sharpeners they made. I do have a few more but they are still on cards. Add them all to your collection.

1 March New Stuff

 

We always seem to have new/old items down in the supply room. Pedigree erasers and a pre-school pair of scissors. I picked up another Papermate Rolli Bolli with a brand new black Papermate Malibu pen. If you see one of these Papermate Rolli Bollis around grab it. A new Propus highlighter from JetPens and two more Hallmark pens. On the right are some Skilcraft 0.5mm lead and erasaers plus some green HB 0.5mm lead with Amazing Night written on the top. Next are my three Mont Blanc roller pens. Last is the watch. A old Timex called a Flying Saucer watch. It is a nice retro watch for my collection. Add all this new stuff to your collection. I am starting to sell some of the extra pens and they can be found at the bottom of this page. 

Unisonic Calulators

Of all my 70s calculators I enjoy the Uinsonics the best. These great calculators were sold through K-Mart and other places. I liked the standard three colors of  silver, blue and orange which were a trademark of Unisonic calculators. But most of all I likes the big blue numbers on the display just like the calculator on the left. Remember the TI calculators with those small red letter? By the way the TI 1265 which I own two also had big blue letters. Of all the Unisonics calculators I like the 940s and the 911s the best. Small enough for your pocket of briefcase. All made around the middle 70s. Then I find this great 911 in the picture with big red letters. The one looks like it was never used. Everyone should have a 70s calculator on their desk. Add one to your collection. 

Parker 45s

 

Time to put the key chains away and get back to pens. Here we have three great Parker 45 ball point pens. Colors are gray, blue and green. Two have gold color trim and they are all in excellent condition. These pens are from the 60s so I have been in contact with Mad Men to see if I can get them some TV time. Another interesting item is the cardboard box that the pens were shipped in. According to the seller this is a modified cardboard box that the original 1954 Parker pens were stored and shipped in. These pens use the standard Parker refills and were made in the USA so these 45 year old pens can start work today. Add these great pens to your collection. Next post we will be adding more 70s calculators to the collection.
