These catalogues are very valuable. Thanks for the sharing. In General perspective , I donwloaded all of them and reviewed especially Pilot Catalogues. However I could not find any information regarding Pilot The Shaker H-515 and same model with Brand Pilot/2020, Pilot Sprinter or Pilot Mini . Do you have any catalogue pages which includes these models and versions. Best Regards

Thank you for sharing :slight_smile:
Wonderful weekend reading…

SAILOR notes:
1979

  • debut of Candy FP line (which includes a color leadholder)
  • debut of the F1 line – inspired by ‘feeling of speeding around a Formula 1 circuit’

1996

  • Theta FP (wavy curved clip), which also had an MP line. Commemorates 85th Anniversary.

MITSUBISHI UNI notes:
1968

  • In-house production of HOLDER series and 0.5mm leads.
    Since the USA imported DEMI-.5 was sold as early as 1966, it seems it could have been produced by Faber Castell, which cross-licensed several designs with Mitsubishi.

1970

  • Start production of 0.3mm leads (2 years behind Pentel)

1980

  • Launch of FLICKER series

do you know how long Sailor sold the F-1 SP?

7

On my M5-50’s case it says Mitsubishi Holder (It’s a Demi.-5), do you think it could have been manufactured before 1968?

8

F1 is so widely available that I think it HAS to have been sold well into the 80s or even early 90s.

We are talking possibilities here, not certainties. It could be stock produced in 66/67 by FC and packed in a box made in 68… etc.

I do not see the Kokuyo book -

Ah, forgot that, I thought I’ve processed the file when typing that. I will upload it later.
Btw, that 1975 Kokuyo 70th is kind boring and has nearly no information related to pens. So, don’t worry about that.
