Optical and UV spectrophotometric data are analyzed for the central stars of the known Population II planetary nebulae. From this, we derive visual magnitudes, spectral classification, color temperatures, luminosities and masses of the objects. It is found that all the stars show absorption type spectrum and most of them have normal H and He photospheric abundances, the only possible exceptions are M 2–29 and GJJC-1 which seem to be H-deficient stars.
