Sources and notes
- “Collectible Stars” volume II; forum post of 16 September 2005.
The fountain pens and ballpoints of the 1960s were joined by push pencils with the Pix mechanism. Their numbers come in pairs and follow the lines of the fountain pens.
The numbers
The final digit 5 stands for 0.9 mm leads, the 6 for 1.18 mm leads
- 15 and 16 for the Meisterstück
- 25 and 26 for the second line
- 35 and 36 for the third line
- 75/76 with a rolled-gold cap, 85/86 in rolled gold and 95/96 in solid gold, from 1961 also in 18 ct
The Pix 16 and Pix 36 are everyday models of 1960–1970 and 1961–1970 (forum post of 11 November 2008, forum post of 9 March 2009). Like the fountain pen 34, the Pix 36 belongs to the third, least expensive line (forum post of 26 June 2007).
Before and alongside
Until 1960 the first digit of a pencil number gave the line, and the second was a 7; after that the system changed (forum post of 16 September 2005). Two twist pencils with an engraved star from the 1950s, OO2 and OO4, continued until 1967.
