Platinum followed later the same year with its Poket PK-2000 (18k nib) and PK-1000 (14k nib). Pilot was the last of the big three to join the trend. Pilot introduced the Elite S in 1964. The "S" was meant to distinguished the new short pens from the full size Pilot Elite. Pocket pens are designed with portability in mind. While capped, a pocket pen will measure less than 125mm from end-to-end. However, when posted, it becomes a full sized fountain pen. Pocket pens were popular in the 60's & 70's but recently have been making a comeback. Being easy to slip in a pocket or purse make pocket pens ideal for travel and those who are always on the go. This Platinum Pocket Pen features an 14K gold fine nib (the kanji characters in the nib denote fine). This also features the distinctive squared-off barrel end that was unique to Platinum. Very attractive name engraved on barrel. The pen is in (B) Very Good condition.
