| + | In [[1927]] [[Carter]] introduced a new line of celluloid pens, called [[Carter Coralite Pen]] keeping the same ''[[flattop]]'' shape of hard rubber models, but using a set of colors of great impact. These first models were produced in different sizes, with nibs measures between 2 and 7, and identified by a number whose last digit indicated the nib measure and the other the celluloid color. There were produced also desktop models (but only in two measures, 6 and 2) and ladies models with no clip, but with a cap ring. |
