Flair Mypen, Flair Success.

I am starting with two Flair pens. Flair pen a is Mumbai based company making different types writing instruments for more than 40 years. Their main products are roller balls and ball pens and some limited fountain pens which can be seen occasionally in some stationary shops. I usually buy it when I see as always there will be some thing interesting in their designs.

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/M200SuccessMypen_zpseeedf83d.jpg

 

Here pen at down is a blue marbled old style m 200.

Others are Flair Mypen and Flair Success.

 

Well, the story begins in 1991, 22 years back when I bought the Flair Success from a near by bookstall for 50 Rs. (Yes, 50 Rs

was a big deal at that time for a student.) But bought with out knowing it's a copy of a famous German brand. I think no body in India ( or atleast in Kerala) have heard about Pelikan at that time. We know about Parker, Sheaffer Cross and Hero ( Yes, Hero was the pen we dream about!).

Then why make a copy of an unknown brand instead of copying some of the Parkers?

I dont know. Anyway I way I liked the pen, it was my first piston filler.

I used it for 4-5 years before it developed a crack in the barell - but this pen was not available again and started using Montex and Heros.

Later in 2001 found this pen in some store but with a different name- MyPen. bought for Rs. 60. This pen is working still working

with out any problem.

 

The pistons are not as smooth as a Pelikan, but not hard either.

See the close resemblance. Blue marbled is the Pelikan and others, Flair.

ABOUT NIBS

Mypen’s And Success’s nibs are larger No 8 and is friction fitted.

Success nib is a smooth one while that of Mypen is somewhat scratchy.

Montex Regal, Orchid.

 

 

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/orchidmontex400_zps4173eae7.jpg

 

The uppermost pen is an Orchid pen. Down is the Pelikan m 400 and middle is A Montex Regal pen.

 

Montex is also a Mumbai based pen and spare parts company. That means they are making components to other companies. They are in business for more than 40 years.

I searched for Montex Regal for atleast one year. The distributer of our area informed that it has been discontinued. Luckily ( after intense search) I got one as new old stock , lying ignored by the shop owner himself at the corner of his shelf.

But Orchid came as a surprise. I got it from a scrap shop at throw away price.

Look the close ups. It has suffered a lot of hard handling by these scrap people

And still doing its job fantastically. Sure , it is a well built pen.

But actually I don’t know anything about the company. Infact I haven't about such a brand before.

Oliver Metal Pen.

 

Oliver is a Chennai based company making some good quality pens but

Not well known even inside India. They have some interesting designs.

They have recently came out with some acrylic ( ball ) pens with superb finish.

Watch out for their fountain counterpart also.

 

I am calling this pen as ” metal”pen because that’s what the shopkeeper calls it as. . It looks like metal but on handling does not feel as metal. I think it is plastic with a thin layer of metal. The piston is very smooth.

Pierre Cardin Pure Pen.

 

Next in the list is a Pierre Cardin pen. Thinking that how Pierre Cardin became Indian? Well, its made in Mumbai by Flair Writing Intruments. Do not compare it with success and Mypen as they have been discontinued many years back while Pierre Cardin Pure is recent introduction. My box shows it has been packed in 2012. It is the costliest

of the lot but the prettiest with great finish. Its piston is as smooth as Pelikan also.

 

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/PCPureM4002_zps2d27f2c6.jpg

Its longer than a m400. Upper pen is the Pierre Cardin Pure pen.

 

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/PCPureM2001_zps8695714d.jpg

ITS LONGER THAN M200 ALSO.

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/PCPureM400clips3_zpsbb06fd8a.jpg

SEE THE CLIPS. Upper part of the clips are similar but down PC Pure have a bulbous end.

Scriptor

 

Quite bored with black colour?

Well, Next is a group of pens in stunning colours. The Scriptors.

 

I have not heard of this brand. According to the shop keeper this is a Mumbai based firm.

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/SCRIPTORamp200CLOSED1_zpsfabb158e.jpg

These are a Marbled brown, Marbled red and Marbled grean

along with a Marbled blue m 200. Why cant they produce one in Marbled blue

also which is happened to be my favorite colour?

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/SCRIPTORamp200OPEN4_zpsa171f870.jpg

THE SCRIPTORS OPEN.

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/SCRIPTORamp200CLIPS6_zps22a1509a.jpg

See the clips! The Pelikan beaks have been transformed to

elephant trunks! An imaginative Indianisation!

http://i1331.photobucket.com/albums/w583/mohancv/SCRIPTORamp200OPEN8_zps649e4f5c.jpg

Marbled brown have a yellow window while others have white.

RIGHT MOST IS THE PELIKAN CAP.

 

ARTEX brand from Kolkata is also have some similar designs which I don’t have. If Somebody bothers to post some picture of Artex and also some other similar designs it will be useful.

Thanks for reading,

Mohan.

HI Mohan, Interesting posts, thanks for sharing. I remember the Flair Success very well, I bought it around the same time as you in Pune IIRC.

 

The PC Pure's clip seems to be modelled after the Aurora optima, have a look.

Hi, I was looking all over for information regarding a Pierre Cardin fountain pen I have, and came across this thread. I do not have pictures with me right now. My Pierre Cardin is all black, with a golden clip. The top of the cap looks like the Oliver's top while the clip is like the one on the Pierre Cardin in the photo above.

 

Now my problem is that the piston has become very stiff. In fact, its so hard that I sometimes fear I shall break the pen if I twist harder. Can anyone help me with information regarding the piston mechanism? Is this a clutchless design that can simply be unscrewed from the rear? Or do I need a tool to remove it? Otherwise, is there someone in Mumbai to whom I can take this pen to get it sorted?

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Regards,

 

 

Prabuddha

    • FineFinerFinest 24 Oct 8:52
      No replies required to my complaints about the Pelikan. A friend came to the rescue with some very magnification equipment - with the images thrown to a latge high res screen. Technology is a wonderful thing. Thanks to Mercian for the reply. I had been using the same paper & ink for sometime when the "singing" started. I have a theory but no proof that nibs get damaged when capping the pen. 👍
    • Mercian 22 Oct 22:28
      @FineFinerFinest: sometimes nib-'singing' can be lessened - or even cured - by changing the ink that one is putting through the pen, or the paper that one is using. N.b. *sometimes*. Good luck

      I'm not expecting any replies to my question about the singing Pelikan nib. It seems, from reading the background, that I am not alone. It's a nice pen. It's such a pity Pelikan can't make decent nibs. I have occasionally met users who tell me how wonderful their Pelikan nib is. I've spent enough money to know that not everyone has this experience. I've worked on nibs occasionally over forty years with great success. This one has me beaten. I won't be buying any more Pelikan pens. 👎
    • FineFinerFinest 21 Oct 4:27
      I've had a Pelikan M805 for a couple of years now and cannot get the nib to write without singing. I've worked on dozens of nibs with great success. Ny suggestion about what's going wrong? 😑

      Hello all - New here. My Art studies have spilled me into the ft pen world where I am happily submerged and floating! I'm looking to repair some cheap pens that are starving for ink yet filled, and eventually get new nibs; and development of repair skills (an even longer learning curve than my art studies - lol).

      @Seney724. The pen was recently disassembled and cleaned, but the nib and feed were not properly inserted into the holder. I'm in Maryland.
    • Diablo 26 Aug 21:32
      @Seney724. The nib section needs to be adjusted properly.
    • Seney724 26 Aug 18:16
      @Diablo. Where are you? What does it need?

    • fatehbajwa 14 Aug 12:17
      Back to FPN after 14 years. First thing I noticed is that I could not see a FS forum. What has changed? 🤔
    • Kika 5 Aug 10:22
      Are there any fountain pen collectors in Qatar?
    • T.D. Rabbit 31 July 18:58
      Ahh okay, thanks!
    • Scribs 29 July 18:51
      @ TDRabbit, even better would be in Creative Expressions area, subform The Write Stuff
    • T.D. Rabbit 29 July 11:40
      Okay, thanks!
    • JungleJim 29 July 0:46
      @T.D. Rabbit Try posting it in the "Chatter Forum". You have to be logged in to see it.
    • T.D. Rabbit 28 July 17:54
      Hello! Is there a thread anywhere 'round here where one can post self-composed poetry? If not, would it be alright if I made one? I searched on google, but to no avail...
    • OldFatDog 26 July 19:41
      I have several Parker Roller Ball & Fiber Tip refills in the original packaging. Where and how do I sell them? The couple that I've opened the ink still flowed when put to paper. Also if a pen would take the foller ball refill then it should take the fiber tip as well? Anyway it's been awhile and I'm want to take my message collection beyond the few pieces that I have... Meaning I don't have a Parker these refills will fit in 🙄
    • RegDiggins 23 July 12:40
      Recently was lucky enough to buy a pristine example of the CF crocodile ball with the gold plating. Then of course I faced the same problem we all have over the years ,of trying to find e refill. Fortunately I discovered one here in the U.K. I wonder if there are other sources which exist in other countries, by the way they were not cheap pen
    • The_Beginner 20 July 20:35

      Somewhat confusing and off-putting ones, as said to me by my very honest friends. I don't have an X account though :<
    • piano 19 July 8:41
      @The Devil Rabbit what kind of? Let’s go to X (twitter) with #inkdoodle #inkdoodleFP

      I have a Conway Stewart Trafalgar set. It was previously owned by actor Russell Crowe and includes a letter from him. Can anyone help me with assessing its value?
    • Sailor Kenshin 15 July 17:41
      There must be a couple of places here to share artworks.
    • T.D. Rabbit 15 July 12:45
      Hullo! I really like making ink doodles, and I'd like to share a few. Anywhere on the site I can do so? Thanks in advance!
    • Sailor Kenshin 6 July 17:58
      Pay It Forward.
    • AndWhoDisguisedAs 6 July 16:59

    • JungleJim 3 July 16:14
      @Bill Wood-- just look at the message below you that was posted by @PAKMAN. He is a moderator here on the forums.
    • Bill Wood 2 July 14:24
      Just checking on a classified section and where we are with that. Many thanks. Bill
    • PAKMAN 29 June 1:57
      @inky1 The software for the classified stopped working with the forum. So no we don't have a sales section anymore at FPN
    • inky1 28 June 16:49
      I am not sure which is the classifieds section
    • inky1 28 June 16:46
      IIs there a Fountain Pen Sales board anywhere on here?
    • dave c 25 June 19:01
      Hi. Anybody ever heard about a Royal Puck Pen. Very small but good looking.
    • Eppie_Matts 23 June 19:25
      Thanks! I've just ordered some #6's to experiment with.
    • Al-fresco 21 June 12:11
      @Eppie_Matts Shouldn't be a problem - I've just put a Bock #6 Titanium into a La Grande Bellezza section. Went straight in without any problem.
    • Curiousone11 21 June 4:35
      Any recommendations on anyone who specializes in original pen patents?
    • Eppie_Matts 20 June 1:32
      Hi all - I'm new to experimenting with pens and nibs. Can I put a bock 6 on a Pineider? Thanks!
    • penned in 16 June 17:33
      Hi, I'm new to this forum and was wondering where is the best place to sell a Montblanc ballpoint pen? Are ballpoints allowed here? It's a beautiful pen that deserves a great listing. Thanks.
    • ChrisUrbane 9 June 3:16
      I havent logged in here for a while. I have moved and when I try to change my location on my profile, when I go to save it, it sais 'page not found' and that I do not have authority to change that.

      I am looking for someone who can repair a Waterman Preface ballpoint that won’t stay together
    • Penguincollector 30 May 14:59
      I just noticed that the oppsing team of the game I watched last night had a player named Biro in their lineup. He must be part of Marsell the oily magician’s cadre
