1930 Waterman Patrician LF in Moss Agate. GFT. The Patrician was Waterman’s first entry into plastic pens. From 1924 through 1929, competitor’s captured much of Waterman’s market share, as Waterman was trying to earn back their investment in colored rubber (rose ripple; olive ripple; blue-green ripple). Unfortunately, the Patrician didn’t help much, as the depression was in full swing. While Waterman held on, struggling for about another 25 years, they really never did recover and recapture their market share. Fine nib, with a tad of flex. New-old-stock. Mint.

1914 Sheaffer 5 “Self Filling” LF in gold-filler overlay on BHR “Sheraton” pattern. Quite rare to find in this large a size.

1924 Sheaffer Sr. Lifetime “Autograph” Flat-top LF in Jade. GFT. Medium nib. Discoloration of the cap and barrel make this a user grade pen (reflected in the price), but the wide 14K band and 14K clip go a long way in making up for it. Otherwise near mint.

1925 Sheaffer Demonstrator Flat-top Pencil in Black. The pencil barrel has two factory portholes through which you can see the mechanism moving when operating. GFT. Near mint.

1942 Sheaffer Sr. Lifetime Balance LF in Black & Pearl. GFT.

Medium/fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint

1942 Sheaffer Lifetime Balance (thin) LF in Black & Pearl. GFT.

A little wear to the cap just below the clip (can be moved to the back of the cap, but they are actually less visible where they are). A few pin head dings to the inner cap. Otherwise near mint (if perfect, would be $2500).

1935 Pelikan 101 PIF in Cobra. GFT. Rare in the 100N and very, very rare in the model 100! Yellow celluloid barrel window. Knurled turning knob. Broad, extra-flexible nib (other nibs available). Near mint. [Buy with pencil below @ $2800]

1939 Pelikan 200 Repeater pencil in Cobra. GFT. Near mint. [Buy with pen above at $2800].

1935 Pelikan 209 Repeater Pencil in Black with Red top and push button. GFT. Rare short, clipless model. Near mint.

1937 Pelikan Magnum PIF “Emege” in Tortoise with Red Cap. The only oversize Pelikan 100N model ever manufactured! Very rare. The “Emege” imprint is on the side of the cap tube (pronounced “em-gee”). “M” and “G” were the initials of the Portugal importer of Pelikan pens, who tired of fixing under warrantee pens bought elsewhere. So he had “Emege” imprinted on his pens and only covered those under warrantee. GFT. Broad, extra-flexible nib. Near mint. Other nibs available.

1937 Pelikan 209 Repeater Pencil in Green Pearl. Rare, short “vest pocket” model. NP nozzle. Near mint.

1937 Pelikan Rappen Bulb-filler in Black. Introduced in 1932 as an economy line. GFT. Red celluloid barrel. Has the 1937 “Rappen 585 14Karat” nib (fine, flexible, italic). New-old-stock. Mint

1937 Pelikan 100N PIF in Grey Marble (rare color). I believe this to be an example from the first year of production, as the inner cap has the old logo with four birds in the nest, which was modernized in 1938 to only two birds. GFT. Fine, extra-flexible nib (other nibs available). Near mint.

1942 Pelikan 100N PIF in Black. Green acrylic barrel. Quite a rare color for a Pelikan 100N. GFT. Broad, italic nib (other nibs available). Near mint. [Buy with pencil below @ $500]

1947 Pelikan IBIS PIF in Black. Introduced in 1932 as an economy line. This particular pen is an early post-war example. GFT. Unusual to find with a signed “IBIS CN” nib. The barrel is marked as a fine nib, but it appears closer to medium fo me. Near mint.

1950 Pelikan 100Nf PIF Desk Set. Rare black vase-shaped base and pen with fixed taper. Pen also comes with a regular cap. Capping the pen when not using it for a few days (i.e., over the weekend) stops the pen from drying out (or for use by those folks with very deep pockets!). Green acrylic barrel. Broad, oblique nib (other nibs available). New-old-stock. Mint. Close-up of desk set.

1950 Pelikan 100N Maenner PIF in Sterling Silver “Fine Pinstriped” overlay. Meaner was a very famous German jeweler (equivalent to Tiffany in the USA and Asprey in the UK) which produced fine overlays for Pelikan pens. These were factory authorized models, more ornate than anything Pelikan was doing on their own. Fine, extra-flexible nib (other nibs available). While the pen underneath is near mint+, the overlay has a large number of pinpoint dings, the cap having far more than the barrel. It is still a lovely pen, a great user, and would be far, far more costly if the overlay were in near mint condition as well.

1956 Pelikan 400NN PIF in Green Striped. GFT. Fine, oblique nib (shaped like left foot) (other nibs available). Near mint+

1950 Pelikan 400 PIF in Brown Striped. GFT. Medium, flexible, italic (other nibs available). Visualated barrel. Near mint.

1953 Pelikan 100N PIF in Grey Pearl. You see about one Grey Pearl binde for every couple of hundred in Green Pearl. Much rarer than most folks imagine. Extra-fine nib (other nibs available). Near mint.

1953 Pelikan 100N PIF in Green Pearl. GFT. Green acrylic barrel. Double-broad, italic nib (other nibs available – please ask for what you want). Near mint.

1937 Pelikan 200 Repeater pencil in Green Pearl. GFT. Near mint+. [Buy with pen above @ $425]

1956 Pelikan 60 “Knickbein” propelling pencil in Green. “Knickbein” translates to “bent leg” The lead is advanced by bending the pencil in the middle. No Pelikan collection is complete without it! Near mint+

1937 Ancora 4 Large BF in Blue Pearl with Bronze Veins. User grade pen with an incredible fine, triple flexible, copperplate nib. Rollerball clip. GFT. This model was made in two sizes; 2 (smaller) and 4. Condition issues include some alligatoring on the cap, a small crack where the clip enters the cap, brassing and some barrel ambering. But if you would like what would have been a rare $2000 pen for only $500, you’ll have a great user!

1935 Aurora Iridia BF in Green Pearl with Black Veins. Black blind cap and G/F barrel & cap ends. GFT. Medium, extra-flexible nib. Near mint.

1942 Aurora Novum Faccettata (12-sided) lever/button-fill ring-top in black. Designed to be used with a tassie or worn on a watch chain. It fills by lifting a small lever set into the very bottom of the barrel. GFT. Fine, triple-flexible, copperplate nib! Near mint+.

1949 Aurora 88 PIF in Black with gold-filled fully pinstriped cap. User grade pen with fine, flexible nib. Visualated barrel. There is a little wear to the section imprint and a number of pinpoint dings in the cap. A great daily user, you don’t need to worry about knocking around.

2000 Aurora Hastil cartridge/converter-fill in Brushed Stainless Steel. Medium/broad nib. Converter included. New-old-stock. Mint.

1935 Imperial Pelletier 183 BF in Golden Pearl. GFT. Very attractive pen with 5 cap bands, including one wide “Greek Key” band. Very much looks Italian made, but there are no references in any of the books. There is “Imperial Pelletier” ink, with boxes marked “Belgium.” Same company – que sabe? Visualated section. Broad, flexible nib signed “Ma 14c 585 Osmi-Iridium.” Crown logo on barrel. Rollerball clip. Near mint. Update 10/23/10: A collector sent me a photo of the identical pen, imprinted "ASKA – Swiss Made." The research I found on Aska indicates that although they are marked "Swiss Made" they were almost certainly made in Italy (just as I had suspected about the Imperial Pellitier), perhaps by Omas, Ancora, Columbus or Tabo. It is also thought that perhaps they were made by Asca for export (the Italian alphabet doesn’t contain the letter "k"). Asca (Bologna) exported almost all their production to Germany, Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, Yugoslavia and France. If the pen was assembled from parts in Switzerland, that may have been just enough to satisfy the "Swiss Made" label.

1942 Montegrappa “Extra” Large Click-fill in Green Pearl with Black Veins. The matching, knurled turning knob makes a half-turn to depress the pressure bar onto a sloping ratchet inside the knob which acts to fill the pen. This is the largest size in which this model was made. GFT. Medium nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1945 Montegrappa Extra #6 size PIF in Black with Silver Veins. NPT. Long visualated barrel window with a black spiral. Rollerball clip. Medium, flexible alloy nib. New-old-stock. Mint in original box.

1935 Aikin Lambert “Capitole” LF in Golden Pearl Striped. GPT. Nib imprinted “18KT CAPITOLE USA.” Rare to find an Aikin Lambert with an 18K nib (no doubt made for the French market). Fine, flexible nib. New-old-stock, still with most of its original label. Some wear to the plating, otherwise near mint+.

1927 Artcraft “Lifelong” #6 size LF in Black. GFT. A Birmingham, Alabama manufacturer. Large, medium/fine, flexible nib, signed “Artcraft 50 Year Pen.” White circle inlaid into the cap top. Just a tad of imprint wear on the left side (fully readable) otherwise near mint.
