Description
502 131 Tikky double push pencil - red 0.5 - prototype
This particular pen is strange rare pencil.
Seems unique as there is no writing on it and it has silver ring, unlike any seen in catalogues.
Also mechanism seem to be white, while it would be normal to have it black.
Plastic is also strange, almost transparent like with black shine...I have seen this kind of plastic in red Tikky automatic from 1988.
Further...This pen was aslo DONATED to the Rotring Museum by Michael Gutberlet as a sample of cooperation of Gutberlet and Rotring companies in the 1990s.
This raises probability of really being production prototype, don't you think.
Thank you Michael for your support!
