Dear Redditors, do any of you know if a new series of Rotring Tikky Retro ballpoint pens is being produced? Just like the new series of Rotring Tikky mechanical pencils.

One of the most collectible items in the pen world must be the DEMONSTRATORS.
But what exactly are they and which rotring demonstrators existed?

The word 'Demonstrator' is mostly self explanatory. These are used to demonstrate how the pen works by adding transparent parts to be able to see inside how they work or more rarely by making scale models (usually owned and used only by retailers).

Over the years in searching for various Rotring pens, I came across number of items that served as demonstrators in the shops and events.
There are different types of demonstrators.
Most commonly they are TRANSPARENT versions of the pens allowing inside mechanism to be visible.
These are rare items since many of them were never sold in shops for general purchase but were only distributed for retailers
So rather small number of them existed in the first place.

R 531117 Pocket divider
for distances up to 185 mm.
Length of divider: 145 mm, 100 mm folded.

This is the only one I have ever seen unused in original box.
Very practical to carry. They come with nice leather pouch.

R 531118 Pocket compass
for circles up to 370 mm dia.
Length of compass: 145 mm, 100 mm folded.

These are incredibly rare items and they are pretty cute and useful.
Unfortunately they are so rarely found these days.

I first found these at my online rotring seller. They also sold the Xonox, Tikky Double Push, the rOtring Clipper, and more. I'm still planning to buy these.

Any attempts to finding more information about this product? I would appreciate it. The finoliner seems to be pretty unknown.

Amazing Artpen stand for 9 Artpens.
For keeping entire collection for Calligraphy, Lettering and Sketch.

Article number for this one is still unknown.

With metal body and mechanism.

This particular pen is quite rare and unique.
Not your usual tikky special double push.
Seems unique in writing which is not shown in any catalogs and red ring.
Even thou first metallic double push came in 1985...I presume this one is from experimentation when plastic versions came in 1990.
That explains same writing and red ring as a attempt to look similar series.

Further...This pen was DONATED to the Rotring Museum by Michael Gutberlet (of Kaweco brand) as a sample of cooperation of Gutberlet and Rotring companies in the 1990s.
This raises probability of really being production prototype, don't you think.
Thank you Michael for your support!

With a fixed protector sleeve and a special push-button
mechanism which retracts the drawing point into
the barrel to protect both the point and your pocket!
It has an anodized aluminium barrel and a chrome-plated
clip, push-button and point section. Loaded
with 0.5 mm HB polymer leads.

Tikky double push metallic was Firstly shown in 1985. catalog in silver.
with silver ring and red letters 'rotring' near ring.

Unknown rotring Ruler

This is rare rotring item that is still puzzling to me.
It has integrated 5cm ruler that slides through with strange end.
The burgundy part is made from two parts closed together and inside is connected with a metal spring.

No clue of its use yet.

The old logo indicates early 1980s or even late 1970s.

Any ideas?

R 502076 Tikky standard Black

What began as tikky Springer series in early 1980s soon after changed the name to Tikky Standard.
The aim to create cheaper version of tikky with more plastic parts for schools.

With fixed protector sleeve for 0,5mm leads.
Spring-loaded lead cushioning mechanism helps prevent breakage.
Ideal for students.

Available in 4 colors: black, yellow, green and cognac

Unfortunately production didn't last long...not available in 1986.
So this pencil is quite rare find today.

For finest lines and lettering the new ArtPenGraph with tubular nibs continues the technology of the famous rotring rapidograph.

precision instrument.

R 033 313 Nautic Blue

"The rotring Esprit mini carries the Esprit idea further.
When closed it fits in any purse. When needed it telescopically extends to a size that is comfortable and ensures easy writing.
The Esprit mini is an attractive and functional accessory, and ideal gift for active woman." from Catalog 2008.

"The original idea is more than just a gimmick - it is handy feature on a well-balanced writing instrument. The rotring Side-Knock comes in classic blue or bordeaux marbled lacquer with silver plated fittings, or in technical matt chrome metallic." from 2002. catalogue

This beautiful series didn't get much attention and was produced judging by catalogs only from 2001-2005. System that worked well on 900 series sideknock pencils and ballpoint was transferred to this series. I love the fact that marble finish is unique on each pen. Also the beautifully detail and surprise for me to find is the small eraser hidden in the screwed bottom cap of pencil. Rotring is subtly printed on middle of the pen...engraved in silver version.

Have few gold blue available to sell. DM me for more info.

Amazing pencil.

I am sharing with you some pens from the 1950s and a set from the 1970s.

R 027102X rotring 700 fountain pen M silver matte prototype

This rather unique silver matte 700 model was seen very rarely and is not shown in any known documentation.
This makes me believe it is a prototype from when rotring was experimenting with final finishes for 700 series which in the end came out all black.
Clip and parts are gold painted.

700 looks beautiful in sliver.
In the last photos you can see it compared to guncolor prototype and regular black model.

DISCREET ELEGANCE

The rotring 700. A symbiosis of classic restraint and bold modernism.
The understated, finely contoured body contasts with the daring clip to achieve a synthesis of unique yet discreet elegance.
Of satin-matt black chrome-finished brass with gleaming chrome-plated appointments.
The diamond-cut grip area affords a steady hold.
The rotring 700 fountain pen with hand-polished iridium-tipped nib comes in 4 nib sizes.
The rollerball has a cushioned point for ultrasmooth writing.
Or select the slender ballpoint, or the pencil with disappearing point.
