Japanese 1965 Mitsubishi No. 550 Ballpoint Pen
If one imagined (Japanese) stationery history to be an academic subject, then this pen, No. 550, would have to be included in the class textbook. Mitsubishi, one of the two main rival companies with Tombow, originally began by manufacturing pencils from the late 19th century. It only started producing ballpoint pens in 1961, long after Ohto which produced the first Japanese ballpoint pen in 1949.
