Not to be confused with
Under “Junior”, “Collectible Stars” lists a small range with metal caps for 1971–1975: fountain pen, ballpoint, four-colour pen and push pencil.
The Junior range
- the fountain pen 622 with metal cap, as a piston filler and as the cartridge filler 622 P, in black and, for export only, in red, turquoise and blue, a gold nib being possible
- the ballpoint 692 with metal cap in the same four colours
- the four-colour pen 672 in black metal
- the push pencil 652 in metal and black
What does not belong to it
The ballpoint 690 does not belong to the Junior range. “Collectible Stars” volume II lists it in black, red, turquoise and blue (1971–1979) after the Carrera ballpoints, set apart by a blank line and without a range name of its own; there the Junior range only begins with the 692. The number index in volume I places the 690 under “Traveller”.
The model catalogue lists the 690 as a range of its own, “ballpoint 690”, for 1980–1984: with a chrome-plated cap and push-button mechanism, in red, blue, green and black, also with a chrome-plated, satin barrel.
Also without a range name, volume II lists the push pencil 650 (1971–1975), which the number index in volume I places under “Classic”. Two fountain pens 620 and 620 P in light blue and burgundy red are known only as individual pens at penboard.
