Catalog 75 (June 2015)

1905 Aikin Lambert “Poinsettia” #2 eyedropper-fill straight-sided in repousse golf-filled Poinsettia” pattern. Aikin Lambert was a NYC based manufacturer founded in 1864. They started making pens in the late 1880s, all high quality. They supplied gold nibs to Waterman who, in 1915 acquired the company to ensure their continued supply. Fine, flexible nib. Near mint+. Close up of pen.

1911 Parker No. 58 Awanyu “Aztec” eyedropper-fill in 18K gold-filled half-overlay with cap crown. Original retail $12.00! Extremely rare and a holy grail of pen collection, with less than a handful known to exist. George Parker explains that he vacationed in Mexico, seeing wonderful Aztec relics in a museum. He obtained permission to use the three armed triskelion design, which was the symbol of preserving life, mythical power, and the guardian of springs and streams. The pen also shows the head of an Indian Chief with a headdress, wearing a snake necklace. Indicia beautifully engraved “Lara.” Near mint in original box with eyedropper. Due to their scarcity, it is unlikely you will ever have another opportunity to add a Parker Aztec to your collection. “Parker Lucky Curve 3″ nib. Close up of pen and box.

1917 Waterman 41 “Continental Safety” eyedropper-fill in gold-filled repousse overlay. The scene on the overlay depicts Francesco & Paolo nude in embrace, floating on air, with Dante & Virgil watching from the distance on a mountain top. Cap with smaller finer repousse work with small lounging nude women, perhaps angels as some appear to have wings. Cap inscribed: POETA, VOLENTIERI PARLEREIA UE’ DUO CHE INSIEME VANNO. DC INF.” Translates to: “”Poet, gladly would I speak with yonder two who go together (and seem to be so light on the wind). DC INF.” Double-broad, extra-flexible nib. Near mint. Close-up of pen.

1914 Montblanc Rouge et Noir #1 Safety ring-top eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber with 18K Smooth Rolled Gold (aka. Gold-filled) overlay, almost certainly added in Italy. The ring is mounted onto the sides of the cap so the red star is not at all obliterated or hidden. Has original string tassie, so the pen may have first seen life with a dance card (where is that debutante today!?!). Incorrect Montblanc nib (double-broad, italic, flexible), marked MONTBLANC 1 14 CT” and, on it’s heel, “HAMBURG” – should be a “SIMPLO 1 14K” nib. Cap band marked “ROUGE ET NOIR 18 K.R.” Many minor dents and dings in the overlay and a touch of brassing to the cap lip. Excellent.

1930 Montblanc L-30 Masterpiece Push-knob fill in Black & Pearl (very rare!). GFT. The “high-top” model came with both a matching top and a BHR top. This one has the much rarer matching top! Fine nib, with a tad of flex. Near mint.

1955 Montblanc 149 PIF in Celluloid. Early, pre-injection molded ‘Precious Resin’ production when Montblancs were still hand made by master machinists. Outer two cap bands are sterling silver, otherwise GFT. Visualated barrel window with vertical lines. Three-tone 14C nib. Near mint+. Three available: (1) Medium/broad nib; (1) Medium/fine nib; (1) Broad/double-broad, italic nib @ $2100.

1935 Montblanc 224 Push-knob filler in Red & Black Mottled Hard Rubber (very rare). GFT. Rarer yet, since it is a version made for the French market, with the barrel imprinted “importe d’allemagne.” Medium, extra-flexible nib. Near mint + (could be new-old-stock).

1938 Montblanc K122 Meisterstuck BF in Lapis (very rare). The Meisterstuck was Montblanc’s top-of-the-line pen, with a lifetime guarantee. GFT. Fine nib. A bit of cap band brassing, otherwise near mint.

1931 Wahl Eversharp Doric oversize in Cathay (Light Green). One of the rarest and most beautiful of the Doric Celluloids. NPT. Signed “#9″ adjustable nib; from fine, stiff to medium, extra-flexible. Near mint+, without even a hint of discolor or crystallization. You’ll never find a better example!

1932 La Plume D’or Pullman 35 Meteor BF in Black Chased Hard Rubber. Incredible pen, where the nib propels and retracts by pushing and pulling the barrel of the pen into and out of the cap. Not many survived, as they broke when folks tried to screw off the cap. Pullman (UK) licenced the technology to the La Plume D’or company in France, who called their version “Meteor.” Correct “D & I Paris” nib (fine, extra-flexible). A little imprint wear, otherwise near mint+

1932 La Plume D’or Pullman 35 Meteor BF in Red Mottled hard Rubber. See above for more information. Correct “D & D Paris” nib (extra-fine, flexible). A little imprint wear, otherwise near mint+

1932 La Plume D’or Pullman 35 Meteor BF in smooth Black Hard Rubber. See above for more information. Correct “D & D Paris” nib (extra-fine, flexible) also imprinted “Reversible” meaning you can write with the nib upside down as well!. Near mint+

1931 Pelikan T111 Toledo PIF in 24K gold-plated sleeve with etched pelicans surrounded by fine tooling. This is the ORIGINAL, not the modern reproduction! Martin Lehman (author of the Pelikan book) describes the process of making the binde: the motifs of the body are carved into a relief by using a corrosive, deep parts are then burnished, distinguished motifs were gold-plated and parts of the line drawings then re-engraved by hand. The black hard rubber cap with etched clip (used only on this model) and knurled cap bands (also unique to this model). Amber celluloid barrel. The pen has it’s proper unique cap; the clip engraved with a Pelikan motif This pen is thought of as the “holy grail” of vintage Pelikans! Double-broad, oblique nib (other nibs available). New-old-stock. Near mint+.

1935 Pelikan 100N Magnum Emege PIF in Tortoise with Red Hard Rubber cap, inner cap and turning knob. Pelikan’s only oversize vintage pen, explaining its high demand among Pelikan collectors. GFT. The inner-cap imprinted “Emege,” representing Pelikan’s licensed Portugese distributor, who so signed all the Pelikans he sold, so he didn’t need to repair under warrantee any pens he did not sell. Fine nib. Visualated barrel. Bottom cap band is “wavey” and the imprint around the bottom edge of the inner cap is very worn (readable with a loop), otherwise near mint.

1937 Pelikan 101N PIF in Lizard (introduced in 1937). Amber visualated barrel. Rarer version with nickel plate trim rather than gold filled trim. Fine, flexible nib. Slightest wear to the cap top logo (all present), otherwise near mint.

Extremely rare. Binde factory imprinted “Export.” Also uses the Model 400 nib style. Broad nib. Visualated barrel. New-old-stock. Mint.

1930 Tri-Pen #4 Set in Black & Pearl. The company previously produced triangular shaped pencils, many sold imprinted as advertising specialties. Eventually, in the 1920’s, producing fountain pens and naming the model as the Triad Pen. Very high quality, but few survived because folks didn’t realize the triangular-shaped caps didn’t turn. The cap lifts straight up off the pen, once the top cap is turned (clockwise) to unscrew the inner cap from the barrel! GFT. Barrels engraved “Emil Hermann.” Extra-fine nib. Near mint.

1930 Tri-Pen Twist-activated pencil for above set.

1925 Aurora RA 5 Safety eyedropper-fill in 18K gold-filled. “Barley” pattern. The RA came in five sizes, “5” being the largest. Fine nib. Some cap lip, cap top edge and clip brassing, otherwise near mint and fully restored.

1927 Aurora “Rapid” Safety eyedropper-fill in 18K gold-filled. The “Rapid,” always a safety pen with a precious metal overlay, elegantly produced in many different designs, this one in beautiful engine-turned geometric designs.

The model came in three sizes, large (#5 nib), medium (#3 nib), small (#1 nib). This is the medium. The Novum is the rare Aurora with the filling lever located on the very bottom of the barrel. Medium, extra-flexible nib. Near mint.

1938 Aurora Optima plunger-fill in Green Pearl Marble. It’s very highly visualated barrel is no accident, as Aurora designed it to compete with the Parker Vacumatic. This model is the rare first version, with the wide “Greek-Key” center cap band. Soon after introduction the center band was narrowed. GFT. Medium, extra-flexible nib. Near mint+ (could be new-old-stock).

1940 Aurora Olo Lusso BF in Blue Pearl with Black variated fine circling veins (beautiful). Aurora added the Olo as a quality pen designed to capture a lower price point than the Novum. For the first 6 or 7 years Aurora actually hid the fact that they made the Olo, marketing it through a totally different distribution system. By the mid 30’s they realized there would be no shame in admitting this high quality pen was theirs, and from that point on the Olo appeared in all the regular Aurora catalogs. GFT, with a Parker Vacumatic-like washer clip. Correct “Platiridio Extra Aurora 5″ nib (fine). A tad of imprint wear (fully readable) otherwise near mint.
