Pelikan youngster´s fountain pens

Pelikan launched a new series of youthfillers in 1986 with a Twist P10 Gray-Yellow, followed by many other color and model variants. All are simple Twist fountain pens made of plastic with a colored beak clip. Each Twist P10 is composed of single-colored moldings to form a pen with two different colors. The manufacturer can only be recognized by the Pelikan logo at the end of the cap and at the nib embossing. In 1989, ballpoint pens (Twist K10) were produced for the first time in the colors of the fountain pen. The colors of the writing instruments are modern hues, selected according to recommendations from leading fashion institutions.

A new series under the name Twist has been produced since 2013. You´ll find the pens at the page school and youngsters´ fountain pens.
