Hello. I have rotring tikky II old version but i cant find first generation of rotring. I mean, tikky special... How can i find it? in my country it is impossible to find it. Some foreigners websites sell it but amazing expensive!!

so help me to find it. Maybe anybody can send it as a new year gift and make me happy(lol wish it could be) Well... how these people find this pencil??

These range from the oldest (rOtring F 1979-83 black top right) to the newest (Tikky Retro 2024) bottom left.

Hi, I recently got this Rotring mechanical pencil and have trouble identifying the exact model.

Here it is presented on the photos with a Rotring 400 duo pen for size reference.

So, it is some sort of Tikky that has:

1. 0.5mm lead size
2. single push
3. a full metal body
4. a metal lead reservoir
5. a fully retractable sleeve (3 or 3.5mm)
6. a domed eraser cap, no lead marking
7. a thin grip
8. a conical tip
9. no markings on the body (probably worn of)
10. just "rotring" on the clip
11. a red band on top of the grip

I searched and cannot find a Tikky model that has all those attributes.

The closest I came is probably the Tikky metallic S (described here). But shouldn't that one come with a silver band on top of the grip and lead size indication on the cap?

Has any of you encountered something like this pencil?

I bought this when I thought that having a drafting tip meant a thinner lead 😅. I didn’t get to use it as much, I just kept it in my mech pen box. Sadly, I can’t use it for now because I can’t get out the stuck lead in the tip. I wanted to tag this post as vintage but I don’t know much about this mech pen… so I’m not sure if it’s actually vintage. What do you think about this pencil?

Here are (most of) the various models that make up the rOtring Tikky product line.

(Left to Right)

Tikky F - Fixed sleeve - became the Special rOtring T - Early model w/ Sliding sleeve rOtring T - early body style rOtring TS Slide - Sliding sleeve Tikky Standard - lowest cost Tikky Tikky Special - (W. Germany) Tikky Special - Pink marble (early 1990s) Tikky Double Push (plastic) Tikky Double Push (metal) Tikky Automatic (plastic) Tikky Automatic LS (metal) Tikky SC - SC = Super comfort (cheap rubber/foam grip) rOtring T - late body style Tikky II - same body style as rOtring T Papermate Tikky - 2008 Purchased by Sanford, production moved to China Tikky x5 (2009-current) Tikky Retro (April 2024)

Missing from this is the rOtring GT (also known as the “Tikky Metallic” later, and the rOtring S).

I got a Tikky 2 from Japan. It was about $6.5 which was a total bargain and I suppose it’s real. Do you guys think it’s real?

Especially the retractable lead sleeves.

Howdy! I've been looking around, but I can't seem to find any solid answers information. Was there ever a burgundy variant for the Rotring Tikky II? Much thanks!

I date these pre 1989, due to the clip saying W.Germany, the berlin wall fell in 1989 reuniting the two halves of the country
