HERO Pen
After almost 15 years I saw a Hero pen! My colleague is using one. Last time I used a Hero pen was in my high school days. This pen was highly recommended for improving the hand writing. The pen used to come in three colours I think, Red, Green and Black.

Filling ink was real fun and a bit complicated also. But as a kid I used to enjoy this process. Having a Hero pen was matter of much pride in those days.


I googled and found that The Shanghai Hero Pen Company manufactures Hero pen. In Wikipedia it is mentioned as “This pen was popular in India during the 80s and 90s”.


True, Hero pen was really a Hero of all high school kids. Then came the Gel one and rest is history.
