The rOtring Tikky

Sadly the photograph itself was lost in a transatlantic home relocation - but I still have the pencil (and in constant use!)

Items that cannot be discerned in my images

  • Interior yellow plastic barrel
  • component holding lead tube, spring and chuck is grey plastic.
  • ‘rOtring’ in raised characters just above the (now heavily worn) red band

I bought a Tikky SC.It’s very cheap.

yeah - aside from the nostalgia, it’s not the typical pencil in my collection. It’s the SC grip that tanks it for me.

BTW here are some marbled Specials

Is this all of them? I’ve heard rumor of a yellow one, but no pictures

Are these all ‘unique’, as in: the production process was so that there no duplicate patterns?

yes! that’s what I like the most about them. Each one is different.
The colors are similar but the swirl marbling is always unique

I have a few Tikky specials in pearlescent colors (mid-1990s?). (I believe the more common “mica grey” is also part of the range). And I’m certain I’ve seen a pearlescent red Tikky special somewhere online.

Does anyone have info about the pearlescent Tikky specials or have other colors?

Supplemental: I just watched your amazing rOtring T: The Incredible History (1979-2008) – Full Timeline Review video - and realized I’d missed a detail - here is an image of the right hand side of the clip mount.
