Those cases are so pretty. I have 2 TX7 that came just like that (it’s essentially a TM but better grip)
It’s one of the only pencils that I bought a second just to keep in its pen case.
I really like Berol! They made some real quality pieces, not to mention their shade of turquoise is so attractive.
And their super dark green on the TD9 is awesome.
These are very nice! Too bad they’re so hard to find these days.
I need more Berol in my life
I just learned there’s also a TX5 and TX9….
Idk if I’ll ever find them
This Turquoise 5 is the pencil that made me re-focus on Berol’s vintage offerings.
This is a crazy awesome deal. They’re never this cheap AND it’s complete with a box
I just found a Berol Turquoise TX-5 0.5mm. I really don’t know much about mechanical pencils, but I knew by the look and feel that it wasn’t modern. Any info? It is stamped berol on the clip and the barrel (haha) beneath the clip. I looked it up, but everything is stamped Japan. Mine is not. It is stamped Berol.
Excellent find
I know there are other tx but I only have the 0.7
I would also love a tx5
Is it in its clear case? Did it come with the paper instructions?
If it did then you have all the same information as me when is comes to the TX. I’ve searched for more but I can’t find anything.
Congrats and welcome!! I hope to see more of you!
Can you post pictures?
Fascinating. I had no idea that Berol had released a body-knock called the “Berol Flex.” Good name. I wonder if release was early 1970’s.
@drifand also did a good comparison.
….ive waited a very long time for this guy and even got blocked by a seller on eBay in the process!
Thanks @Pdunc67 for saving the day!
Hey Allen - I bought three of these as well on eBay and guessing from the same listing/seller. One of them arrived with cracks right above the nosepiece and he is sending me a replacement. I like them, especially the clip style, but the body finish leaves a little to be desired.
Cheers,
Tim
Luckily mine is pretty flawless or I’d be disappointed for sure!
They rarely pop up.
Good to hear from you!!
I thought it was very interesting that the included papers don’t even mention it.
I hadn’t even removed the insert to read it until you mentioned it. Curious omission for sure!
