Going through my files recently and found this Pilot brochure/catalogue from the mid-1970s. Copied some years ago from a forgotten internet source. Shows a few classic models. Enjoy.

Hi Stan, thanks for sharing. I noticed what looks like a date written on the first image, 52.10.15 which I think is Oct 15, 1977 (Showa 52).  I also found three pens in my collection from these pages and all have nib stamped 1977.

The blue letters in the lower right corner of the catalog (S.52.5) indicate that the catalog was issued in May 1977.

It's almost a fantasy to think you could walk into a shop and buy a new MYU!

In fact, we have identified two Myu product pages that were sold within two years of each other at a discounted price from this catalog price.

 

There are still honest dealers in Japan who sell at a discount from the list price without bending their principles, no matter how expensive they know the premium price is.

 

I want to be a lucky buyer.

 

Postscript.

Please note that there is another type of counterfeit sales by foreign scam groups posing as Japanese.

Stan, is there any chance you might be able to provide higher resolution images of these catalog scans? The current ones aren't large enough to see the writing instrument finer details. Thanks!

OK, thanks for letting me know!

 

If I do ever manage to find higher resolution copies, I'll circle back and deposit here.

Stan, do you happen to have image copies of PILOT catalogs from the 1980's? Or, do you know of anyone who might? I have seen on occasion copies floating around various pen/pencil forums, for a few different years like 1988. But so little is available.

Thanks! I see the 1984 is broken up into 3 parts there. I don't see a search function to locate any other catalogs...

As explained above.

Scroll left/right after clicking/tapping the catalog image.

Or go through this list one by one.

I don't understand this search function either, but it appears that the search window on AMeblo is used to search for bloggers. Thus, it seems that it is the blogger's name that can be thrown in here.

Whenever I try to find results on this blog, I always browse through the articles one at a time.

This is one of the previous narrowed down listings in the Pilot's catalog listing.

It appears to be a system of narrowing down the search to find articles rather than a free word search.

This link was previously cited by @stan and myself in separate threads, and I believe other members have cited it as well.

It will take some time and effort.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
