Pelikan 130 IBIS (ca.1954) - the second generation

On January 20, 1954, 130 IBIS (and 100N) were "officially" discontinued (Pelikan Schreibgeräte). The model, however, was continued to be produced for the export market (e.g. Switzerland).

 

In December 1954,  so-called fir tree nib was introduced to  model 130 IBIS (Fig.1, 2)⁽¹⁾. 

In 1955, model 130 IBIS E was produced. The model had "Electrographik" on the cap tube (Fig.3). The model was made for the high graphite inks for making marks readable by the machine (e.g. bar-code labels) (Werner's Info-Page Pelikan-Pens, Pelikan’s Perch). The model was passed down to model 140 E.

 

Finally, model 130 IBIS was discontinued around 1956 (Pelikan SchreibgerätePelikan-collectibles)⁽²⁾, and was completely replaced by model 140 as an economy model⁽³⁾.

Note;⁽¹⁾It is likely that the new nib units had been introduced to model 130 IBIS, before then (please see Pelikan 100N (ca.1950)).

⁽²⁾Switzerland price list was the last reference of Pelikan 130 IBIS.

⁽³⁾Model 140 had already been introduced in 1952.
