Features and informations about this pen:
You are bidding for a Rotring stylograph Tintenkuli from the 1960ties. T The factory Tiku GmbH ( Tinten Kuli ) was founded by Wilhelm Riepe in 1928. The Tintenkuli is a writing instrument that works with a piston system. The frontsection contains a needle of platinum / iridium which wents to a little metal tube. If you put the pen on to the paper the needle will be pushed back and the ink begins to flow. Most of this pens have a needle that stucks in that metal tube. This comes from rust. Other pens have lost their colours and begin to get translucent, like a demonstrator, but thats only a material fault. You will find that problem very often on the 1950ties models. The pen in the auction hasn´t got this problem, its still complete black. The needle in the tube is in working condition and the mechanism also is in working condition. The red decorative band is engraved with Tintenkuli TIKU. The pen is nearly like new. There was no ink in it before.
