Pilot - 1970s Catalogue

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      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
