The world famous Bich's BIC® biro Cristal® launched in France in the late 1950's and one of the most iconic consumer products sold since its introduction. * Marcel Bich (1914-1994) is associated since 1945 with Edouard Buffard (1908-1996) in a company of spare parts of fountain pens installed in Clichy. At this time, he realized the tremendous potential that the ballpoint pen could have. He then took over and improved the process of a ballpoint pen invented by the Hungarian Laslo Biro and launched in 1950 his own ballpoint pen, under the name BIC® in a shortened and easily remembered version of his own name. He then has the ingenious idea to make disposable ballpoint pens. After two years of hard work to get the best quality possible, at a lower cost, the Bic Cristal is launched.

The origin of this 925 silver version manufactured Italy by BIC® to celebrate its 60th anniversary Production was very limited.

The pen is in excellent condition
