Art 4000 Rapidograph Scriber
Year: 1981

Nice to find this rare item.

Quite a few important information on this one.
Firstly there are instructions with a year 1981. This is earliest mention of Scriber I have found so far.
Also explains article number 4000 which was, now obviously, a KIN article number.

Not long ago I have found exactly the same product in rotring set distributed in Australia by Jasco.
Scriber device is exactly the same except now it is branded as koh-i-noor rapidograph.
Of course we know at that time rotring owned Koh-i-noor so this is not a suprise.

Interesting to see that the koh-i-noor rapidograph is branded as rotring company in 1981.
The same mark seen on KIN rapidomatic 5640...would be interesting to know when did this branding start and stop to finally pinpoint exact production year of 5640.
