Time for some German product porn…
Caliper rule? Tire tread gauge? Ruler? Thread scale? Writing instrument? The Messograf by Cleo Skribent is all of these in one. The epitome of quality-obsessed hand-made German craftsmanship and precision seamlessly embodied in a multi-purpose ballpoint pen.
Founded in 1945 in a small garage in Brandenburg, the Cleo Skribent pen company grew to become a leading Eastern European maker of quality writing instruments, and their Messograf caliper pen soon became a trusted German staple, a weapon of choice among auto engineers, architects, and craftsmen. No matter your trade, we think you will find this tool a buoyant reminder of just how things should be made.

All individual parts and components are made in Germany. The replaceable ink cartridges are standard size and can be found in most any stationery shops. It is a multipurpose instrument, constructed of chromium-plated brass for those who demand more than just the joy of writing.
Many have tried to copy it – none have succeeded. This is the original.
