They were made in different sizes, with nibs in the extent of measures between 2 and 8, and in different iridescent colors, called ''Rose Petal'', ''Wave Green'', ''Cerulean Blue'' and ''Pearl White''. | + | In 1929 [[Carter]] introduced a new iridescent plastic material, called ''[[Pearltex]]'' made combining mother of pearl and celluloid with a patented process.

| For the lower end pens [[Carter]] continued to use the hard rubber, while retaining the same style and characteristics of the higher price pens. In the years there were also introduced some stylistic variations, such as the presence of rings decorations in the top of the cap or in the bottom of the body, or the use of colored inserts between the cap rings. | | For the lower end pens [[Carter]] continued to use the hard rubber, while retaining the same style and characteristics of the higher price pens.
