Help In Identifying Silver Ballpoint, With Rolex Refill


Alexcat

Recommended Posts

I got this( see pics below) and am trying to find out a little more about it. As shown in the pics, there is a slight crack/lifting of the silver surface: beside that, it says 'MADE IN JERUSALEM'

Around the top, just below the clicker( which is not working perfectly, but is usable....a missing top, I think....) it says "STERLING SILVER" and just below that, TRIBES OF ISRAEL

 

It's a really beautiful thing....covered in intricate decoration, Hebrew letters and symbols.

 

The refill says

100 Rolex soft fine (and then a word in Hebrew lettering, which I can't reproduce here)

 

Basically, Im trying to get any information about it, and also if/where a refill can be bought( in the UK)

Thank you, Fred.....I've got a couple if ballpoint refills - one a Parker, one a Monteverde I think - so I'll have a look....Im daft; don't know shy I never thought of doing that already!

 

That's an interesting link...thanks for that, too. It's really a lovely pen and I'd dearly live to find out more about it's origin. Meantime Im happy just looking at it, and maybe getting a refill into it.

 

I think that's definitely one of the things I love ( aside from using them to write with, of course)about writing instruments in general, of whatever kind: something so small can be so beautiful, and meaningful....

 

Thanks again

Alex

Alex, my pleasure.....I found this site re Rolex Tribes Of Israel....

It looks like your pen is missing a clip and some cold enamel accents..

which do not affect function...............................................................

Fred,

That's wonderful....thank you so much! Hopefully I'll at least get it buffed up a bit.....must have been much used and well loved to have become as it is; I'll give it a bit if TLC and a refill and see how it goes.....

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
