金星鋼筆

另一个非常经典且充满历史感的中国钢笔品牌——金星钢笔。 金星钢笔和英雄钢笔一样,都是中国钢笔工业史上不可或缺的元老级品牌,它们的故事既有相似之处,也有不同的命运轨迹。 关于金星钢笔 1. 悠久的历史    · 金星钢笔厂的历史同样非常悠久,其前身可以追溯到1932年在上海成立的“大同制笔厂”。(请注意,这个“大同”和英雄的“大同英雄”不是同一个来源,但时代背景相似)。    · 金星品牌在20世纪中叶发展壮大,成为了与英雄、永生齐名的上海钢笔三大品牌之一。 2. 辉煌与经典型号    · 金星钢笔以其过硬的质量和经典的设计著称。其最富盛名的型号是 “金星26” 和 “金星28”(尤其是大号28)。    · 金星26:一款非常成功的钢笔,设计上借鉴了派克51,笔杆材质多样(如赛璐珞),做工扎实,书写手感备受好评。    · 金星28:与英雄616造型类似,但同样拥有大量忠实拥趸。    · 金星钢笔,特别是其金笔,在当年是品质和身份的象征。 3. 与英雄钢笔的对比与竞争    · 在计划经济时代,金星和英雄是直接的竞争对手,两者都在努力研制新产品,争夺市场份额。    · 有一个著名的故事:当年英雄厂为了赶超美国派克51,定下了“英雄100”的指标;而金星厂也在进行类似的技术攻关。这场“赛跑”最终以英雄100的率先成功和巨大商业成功而告一段落,这也巩固了英雄的龙头地位。 4. 不同的命运    · 与经历了改制、整合并存活至今的英雄品牌不同,金星钢笔的命运更为坎坷。    · 在市场经济的大潮中,金星钢笔厂逐渐衰落,最终停产。    · 正因为停产,存世的、品相良好的老款金星钢笔,尤其是经典的金星26、28等,在古董笔和收藏市场上备受追捧,其价格往往不菲,成为了一代人的记忆和钢笔爱好者们竞相收藏的物件。 总结:金星 vs. 英雄 特征 金星钢笔 英雄钢笔 现状 基本已停产,成为历史品牌 仍然在生产,是现存品牌 市场 主要存在于二手、收藏市场 同时存在于新品市场和收藏市场 价值 品相好的老笔有较高的收藏价值 老笔有收藏价值,新笔有使用价值 情感 代表了一...

英雄金笔 大同英雄 您好!您提到的“英雄金笔”和“大同英雄”其实指向的是同一个著名的中国钢笔品牌——英雄钢笔,只是在不同时期的称呼。 这是一个非常经典的中国品牌故事,下面为您详细解释: 品牌演变史:“大同英雄”到“英雄” 1. “大同”时期 (1931年)    · 英雄金笔厂的前身是华孚金笔厂,于1931年在上海成立。    · 在1950年代初期,该厂曾使用过 “大同英雄” 作为其钢笔的品牌名称之一。这个名称带有鲜明的时代特色,“大同”寓意着“世界大同”的理想。 2. 更名为“英雄”    · 随着“英雄”品牌,特别是英雄100型金笔(为赶超美国“派克51”而研制)的巨大成功,“英雄”这个品牌名称变得家喻户晓,深入人心。    · 为了统一品牌形象,后来就去掉了“大同”,直接使用 “英雄” 作为品牌名。华孚金笔厂也随后正式更名为英雄金笔厂。 所以,“大同英雄”可以看作是“英雄”钢笔在特定历史时期的一个曾用名或前身。现在人们普遍称之为“英雄金笔”。 关于“英雄”钢笔 · 辉煌历史:英雄钢笔曾是中国钢笔行业的绝对王者,是国民钢笔,也是无数人工作和学习的必备品。在计划经济时代,拥有一支英雄金笔是很有面子的事情。 · 经典型号:   · 英雄100:最经典的金笔型号,14K金笔尖,至今仍是许多钢笔爱好者的收藏和使用佳品。   · 英雄616:性价比极高的铱金笔,被称为“国民钢笔”,书写顺滑,价格亲民。   · 英雄329:另一款经典的铱金笔,造型秀气。 · 现状:近年来,英雄钢笔经历了起伏,面临国外品牌和中性笔的冲击,但它依然是中国人心中重要的文化符号。许多人在寻找童年记忆或追求书写体验时,仍会选择英雄钢笔。 总结 · 大同英雄 = 英雄金笔的早期或历史称呼。 · 您现在在市场上购买到的,无论是叫“英雄”还是标有“大同英雄”(通常是一些复刻或怀旧版),其根源都来自于同一个品牌——上海英雄金笔厂。 如果您手中有一支老款的“大同英雄”钢笔,它很可能具有一定的收藏价值哦!

Parker 61 Rainbow ( 10th September 2024)

Image
Parker 61 was unlike any other pen at that time or even to this day. It had a different way of filling it with ink. Instead of using a plunger, pump, syringe or any mechanical method, the 61 relied on its capillary ink filling system where you immerse the unscrewed rear end of the pen into a bottle of ink and it will fill up via absorbtion and ink will go.  This is a nice Parker 61 Rainbow. It is the top of the range Heirloom pens sported a rainbow cap made from alternate layers of different colours of gold. The effect is very striking, and the pens are much less common than the standard Classic and Custom pens. The Heirloom caps were discontinued in 1968 due to high production costs and high reject rates. the telfon tube. Much like a piece of cloth which absorbs liquid, this does the same. There are only two models with the Rainbow effect namely this Parker 61 and Parker 75.

Parker Wood pen from the 1980s (8 September 2024)

Image
I have always wanted to find the German made limited edition Parker Wood pen. In 1980 Parker in Germany produced a large (143 mm) wood limited edition pen with a huge stylised clip. There were eight different wood finishes offered and they were sold in numbered boxes made from the same wood as the pens. There were meant to be made 2 000 numbered pens of each wood, but there seems to have been objections from Parker in the US and production was haltered, so no-one really knows how many pens were shipped. Also some were clearly shipped without the number on the pens, or in the boxes. The cap had a very large gold coloured, wooden clip in the shape of an arrow that protruded from the top of the cap.  Perhaps one of the strangest designs of a Parker pen, some finishes are considered very rare. This jumbo pen reminds me of the early Parker Giant.  As a fountain pen collector, I really like the fountain pen design as it really aimed to break away from the norm like the early Pa...

Parker 75 Regency fountain pen (21 July 2024)

Image
Parker 75 Regency fountain pen, more commonly known as the "Rainbow" 75, 18K gold-filled barrel and cap is perhaps the rearest Parker 75 pens. It was a very complicated and difficult manufacturing process that resulted in many rejects, and in turn, an excessive manufacturing cost. This gave way to a very short product life. Beside this Parker 75 Rainbow, there is another Parker 61 Rainbow. Parker 75 Design and Features: - The Parker 75 featured the distinctive "Sterling Cicelé" grid pattern, which was created by cutting a grid into the sterling silver body and then staining the grooves black. - It had a triangular grip section, similar to the design of the Lamy Safari, which provided a comfortable and ergonomic writing experience. - Other notable design elements included the gold-plated trim and the iconic Parker arrow clip. Parker 75 Variants and Materials: - Beyond the standard Sterling Cicelé model, Parker produced the 75 in a variety of other materials and finis...
