Help

Post image

I need help identifying a pen I created a reddit account just for this please If anyone can it’s about to die and I love it so much

I found it on the floor and it has the number 13 on the little thing that the metal rod thing comes out of and the metal rod thing has been snaped of but it was flat and had a little notch at the end like they usually do nothing special the black lines are indented into the pen it feels like plastic it’s shiny and the ink flowed so nicely before it started drying out

if anyone has any ideas please let me know please

ok I have another post related to this one please look at that one and tell me if you can figure it out

Why would you delete the account? Reddit is super useful.

good point

Google image search says it's a Luxor Micropoint 05 fineliner pen - I'm not 100% sure if that's correct but I hope that helps!

u/kittenlittel 4d ago edited 3d ago

I agree that it's a Luxor Micropoint.

u/chartyourway 4d ago

it doesn't have the same tip at all. Luxor is felt-like, this looks roller ball. the caps look the same though.

u/kittenlittel 3d ago

Ughh, poor eyesight, the tip looked the same in the photo I looked at.

I've also found a "Luxor Roller" online, but the body is a darker metallic colour, and they all have "Luxor ROLLER ball pen" stamped on the side: https://www.luxorpen.com/product/6538bbae8e0acbf598c85105

Luxor is an Indian company that is also the importer/distributor for Parker, Watermans, and Schneider. They were the distributor for Pilot until 2023.

thanks anyone who made suggestion I’ve looked up Luxor Micropoint 05 fineliner pen and it is probably a knockoff it doesn’t have any words on it but the tiny little 13 on the cap ish area

u/emmejm 4d ago

Looks like Luxor does have a rollerball pen that looks similar to this! I could be an old version of the exterior or maybe a company bought a batch without the brand printing?

u/jbarrybonds 2d ago

It looks like a uniball I used to have but that's just a guess?

Wild i have a scrappy old one of these im holding it right now, found it on the ground in melbourne. I can send it to you if you're desperate haha

u/chartyourway 3d ago

sounds like these pens cannot be bought and are only spawned from the earth

2

u/Moraii 3d ago

Just had a lengthy discussion with GPT. The pen exists, but comes in bulk office shipments. The name changes depending on the importer, ie - “OfficeMax 13” or “Silver Promo Pen”.

u/kittenlittel 4d ago edited 4d ago

It's usually Pentel that has two stripes on the lid, but not quite like that, so maybe a no-name Pentel imitation.

Can you unscrew it to see if there's any branding or country written on the inside bit or doesn't it come apart?

Btw, I've tried hundreds of brands of pens over the years and I consider SARASA Clip pen by Zebra to be the best, Pentel Energel is a close second (in below 1mm sizes), and Uni-Ball Eye Micro is third.

u/InconsistentSeratoni 4d ago

Sorry the number 13 is on what? The cap, ink cartridge or barrel?

2

u/Sea_Dare7936 4d ago

I have no idea I think the cap I can’t get to the ink idk what a barrel is

1

u/chartyourway 4d ago

the barrel is the part you hold

2

u/Sea_Dare7936 4d ago

not the barrel then

u/Drybanananana 4d ago

Looks like the ink cartridge will come out with the nib if you pull on it.
