英雄金筆 from Singapore Chinatown in 1988

Hero 100 Gold nip pen

These vintage 1960s China made Hero 100 英雄金筆 have sentimental vales as these were found in an old book shops at Singapore Chinatown (牛車水) before the old shop houses were renovated during 1988. The nice old gentleman who sold me the pens told me that these were the top of the lines hero pens with solid gold nibs, which were a luxury for China made pens. Love the wooden boxes
