- The color‑matched barrels (blue for blue ink, black for black ink) were part of BIC’s Deluxe line, marketed as a step up from the clear Cristal pens.

- Summary
- Your box of PM‑39 Deluxe Medium Point pens is almost certainly from circa 1970 ± 2 years — a transitional period when BIC was expanding its U.S. product range and experimenting with premium finishes and printed prices. The fact that your box was part of a sealed “brick” of 12 dozen suggests
- commercial or retail stock, not later promotional reissues.
- These pens were distributed in sealed “bricks” of 12 dozen for commercial retail display, making unopened boxes exceptionally scarce today. Their condition and intact packaging make them a desirable artifact for collectors of mid‑century stationery and American industrial design.
- And honestly, these PM‑39s are a gem. You’re going to make some collectors very happy.
- And remember that these pens have FRESH Bic refills installed. Did I mention painstaking?
You can buy 2 pens, 5 pens, or a whole box of 12, which includes the original box!
