Help Id Platinum Pocket Pens


vetsin

Recommended Posts

Hi! I bought two NOS Platinum Pocket Pens yesterday. I hope you could help me ID them.

The Silver and Pink one has 18k stamped on the nib. The red one only has the P. Thanks very much!

Some pages from a 1970s catalogue.

Platinum usually identified pens by numbers.

 

If there is only a P on this nib, the nib is steel liklely a FINE.

Thanks Stan. Looks like it's not in the 70s catalog but it's most similar to the one in the lower left of the last picture. Do you have one from the 80s?

This is a catalogue from the 1970s, not a catalogue that spanned the entire ten years of the 1970s.

It was posted as illustrative of pens made by Platinum during that era.

 

Your pens might be slightly earlier than when this catalogue was printed.

 

Insofar as the models do not have names, what specific information do you seek.

I'm interested to know the model, even just the model number, and time of production. And is there a possibility that the nib that has 18k engraved is not really gold but just gold plated? I think it's already tarnished.

Suggest you write Platinum in Japan.

If the nib says 18K, it is 18K.

That is the BEST option.

Already sent the email but haven't received their response. I'll update this thread if I get more info. Thanks for the help Stan.

Algester, sorry but I'm really not considering disassembly as an option. :)

They may not answer your email. Unless you know someone there, regular mail is always best.

Wait two weeks and, if no response to your email, send a letter.

      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..

      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
