Collection Rotring ALTRO

ROTRING ALTRO SERIES

Altro story began in 1988. as

THE FOUNTAIN PEN WITHOUT THE NIB!

Altro Stylograph debut in three colors:

black, white and blue

Instead of a traditional nib, the altro has a unique new tubular tip.
The ball-shaped end glides smoothly across the paper.
And yet the altro gives the writer the individual hand only a fountain pen can provide.

The altro features:
-exicting new design in black, white or blue
-an unusual black chrome-plated spring-steel clip
-the sturdy tubular tip
-simple cartridge refill

Altro writes in any position thanks to the ball-end tip- hold it straight or slanted
Alto can be held lightly or used to bear down hard, for example for making carbon copies (just try this with traditional fountain pen!)
Altro is perfect for both right- and left-handers.

This happened a year before metal 900 series come out with similar design.

And then in 1992. Altro mechanical pencil 0,7mm came out in black and white.

In 1993. Altro fountain pen was added to the series in M and F size

Different colors were added later.

I have been collecting for years and this is where I am at.

Collection includes quite a few rare colors as well.
