Mandarin Yellow  - Lady's, Junior, Straight Senior and a Stream Lined Senior. These interesting pens were not very popular when they were first offered. The color just did not sell well and they are difficult to find now. The stream lined pens are a little harder to find than the straight pens but the conditions are better. The clips are held on these by a thinner band of metal than the straight models and they are frequently missing.

The plastic has a tendency to tone darker and it cracks easily. Never use pressure to put the cap on the barrel, it breaks with very little force.  Mandarin pens are rather common as desk pens. This is due to the fact that good caps are difficult to find these pens are converted to desk pens by adding a taper.
