Catalog 76 (September 2015)

1940 Ancora “Large” LF in Black. And “Large” it is, both in height and girth. GFT, including the three cap bands and “claw foot” clip. A rare and beautiful model Medium/fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1933 Ancora Model 1 Astoria octagonal Safety eyedropper-fill in 18KRG (gold-filled) on BHR. Cap and barrel both fully covered. Black & White inlaid enamel cap top in perfect condition. Alternating panels of engine-turned chasing and relief Floral & Vine repousse. Fine, flexible nib A few minor dings, otherwise near mint. Unrestored.

1908 Century #2 “Cable-Twist” eyedropper-fill Red Mottled Hard Rubber. Very early, very rare, very beautiful! George Parker and William Palmer were both investors and executives in the Century Pen Company. Uses the “over-under” double feed. The patent date factory engraved on the pen, “Pat Dec 12 ’93” is actually issued to George Parker who contributed the patent to Century (the Parker Pen Company never made a pen with an over-under feed). Broad, flexible nib. Near mint. Here’s a link to the George Parker patent: Patent Link

1920 Mabie Todd #2 Blackbird “Toledo” lever-fill in Damascened-inlay. Damascening is the art of hand inlaying different metals into one another, typically, 24K gold or fine silver hammered into a darkly oxidized steel background, to produce intricate patterns and designs. The English term comes from a perceived resemblance to the rich tapestry patterns of damask silk. Often called “Toledo” because much of the art comes from Toledo, Spain, a steel working center since about 500 BC (still doing damascening today). The “Toledo” design on this particular pen uses hammered 24K gold to produce four dragons on each of the cap and barrel (8 in total), each dragon within a multi-edged and decorated tall golden triangle. The cap top with golden bands and both the cap and barrel lower ½" edges with matching bands and golden leaves formed within circles of golden arches. Incredibly fine and beautiful work! Fine, extra-flexible nib. Near mint+.

1920 Montblanc Model 0 Baby Safety eyedropper-fill in RED MOTTLED HARD RUBBER (unbelievably rare). Correct “Montblanc 0 14ct” nib (fine, flexible). Crisp imprint. New-old-stock. Mint in original box, signed on top “Montblanc – Baby” (box a bit threadbare). Shown open. Close-up of pen in box.

1933 Montblanc Model 15 Push-knob fill in BHR with 14K “Sarastro” octagonal overlay. Alternating panels of fine pinstriping, and “Z”s formed within fine pinstriping. Correct “Montblanc 4 14C” nib (broad, flexible). The cap is hallmarked “S585.” The “585" of course is the 14K solid gold mark. The “S” stands for “Sarastro,” the Pforzhein, Germany master goldsmith famous for fabricating overlays for Montblanc. As opposed to “jeweler’s overlays” added by third parties, Sarastro overlays are considered licensed factory original to Montblanc and have far greater value and collectibility. A few minor surface scratches and minor dings. The enamel star in the cap top has been replaced with enamel paint which has some pockmarks.

1936 Montblanc Model 124E “Rose” in BHR. Certainly a holy grail for Montblanc collectors! GFT. Complete with its unique “pedal” clip! Two-toned, KF “Kugel Fine” nib (Montblanc’s “Kugel” nibs are ball-point nibs with flexibility). Slightest signs of ink in the cap, otherwise near mint+. To fully enjoy the beauty and rarity of this pen, please see the close-up photos on our website. Original 1936 Montblanc Catalog page. Close-up photo of pen.

1946 Montblanc L-139 PIF in Black. GFT, with outer cap bands in Sterling Silver. Visualated barrel with perfect vertical lines. 3-tone, fine, extra-flexible nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1910 Parker Model 47 Eyedropper-fill. One of the most beautiful of the early Parker pens. Nicknamed the “Pregnant Parker,” because of the bulbous design of the alternating pearl and abalone slabs (which are soaked until soft so they can be so shaped). Gold-filled high relief repousse floral cap and barrel bands. Indicia engraved in beautiful Script lettering “L.K.” or “L.H.” Fine nib. Incredibly beautiful! Has been used, as there is some signs of old ink in the barrel, otherwise near mint+

1915 Parker Model 15 eyedropper-fill in Corrugated Abalone barrel and Gold-filled Filigree cap. A rare example, not only because of the corrugated barrel, but also because the barrel is all Abalone and is not alternating with pearl slabs. Medium/fine, triple-flexible nib. An outstanding pen in wonderful condition. 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! Fine nib (other nibs available). One minute depression in the metal barrel at the bottom lip (which is so small you probably wouldn’t notice unless it’s pointed out), otherwise new-old-stock, near mint+.

1942 Pelikan Ibis PIF in Lavender Marble. So rare, most folks don’t even realize that the IBIS was made in any color except Black! GFT. Amber celluloid visualated barrel. Rare broad, flexible, 14K nib “IBIS.” Near mint. A must for any serious Pelikan collector.

1948 Pelikan 101N PIF in Tortoise with matching cap, barrel and cap top, and contrasting red turning knob. GFT. Green, acrylic, visualated barrel. Fine nib (other nibs available). New-old-stock. Mint.

1932 Pullman #2 BF in Grey Pearl Marble. Extremely rare English made pen (pens were made in France by La Plume D’or, under a similar patent, and marketed as “Meteor”). The Pullman opens by pushing up the barrel. The hinged crown on the non-removable cap opens and closes automatically. Very high quality. Few were made, fewer survived as folks broke them trying to unscrew the cap! Nib signed “Pullman Made in England 14 CT” (medium, flexible). Shown both open and closed. Near mint+ (could be new-old-stock).

1910 Waterman "World’s Smallest Safety Pen" eyedropper-fill in Black Hard Rubber. The spiral propelling/repelling unit is operating perfectly! Often called the "Doll Pen" because one rests in Queen Mary’s doll house (albeit in the “Cone Cap” rather than the “Safety” model), on the King’s Library Table. Just 2" long and less than 3/16" in diameter, this pen was actually produced by Waterman as a way for their salesmen to spend time with potential new accounts. Their salesmen would visit a druggist, jeweler, shop owner, to try to open a new account. The buyer would inevitably say that they didn’t need a new pen line and were happy with what they had. The salesman would now offer to show them the "World’s Smallest Pen," as long as he was there. This allowed more time and interaction, often resulting in a sale! Waterman then published in their in-house newspaper, Pen Prophet, that they would produce these for sale by their vendors as a special order item only. New-old-stock. Near mint+, and extremely rare, especially in the original "coffin" box! Close-up photo of pen in box.

1920 Waterman Model 458 lever-fill in Black Hard Rubber with Sterling Silver “Basket-Weave” overlay. A Waterman Holy Grail!” Broad/double-broad nib. “J.F.G.” lightly engraved into the barrel indicia. Will polish on request. Has been used (signs of ink in the cap), otherwise near mint+.

1941 Parker 51 Vacumatic-fill Blue Diamond in Cedar Blue. Rare first-year model. Even rarer is the first-year smooth Sterling Silver cap, with the imprints at the cap top (in subsequent years the imprints were moved to the cap lip). Aluminum top and bottom jewels. Medium nib. A tad of wear to the imprint on the bottom of the blind cap (almost fully readable), otherwise near mint, with no signs of use.

Deep, crisp barrel imprint. Perhaps a surface mar or two visible with a loop, otherwise near mint+.

1949 Parker 51 Aerometric-fill in Sterling Silver Scalloped (Fish Scale) cap & barrel. Excruciatingly rare and strikingly beautiful! Hallmarked: “Parker Argent 1er T.” (designating 950 Sterling Silver). Argent was the factory jeweler commissioned jewelry house for overlays produced in France. Medium nib.

Furthermore, it did not feature in Parker Advertisements.” Different size, shape and color jewels were used, and a sample bag of other of these original jewels are included. Correct with no clip.

1926 Parker (Duofold} Lucky Curve Sr. BF set in Green “Permanite.” The first color introduced by Parker after cardinal (red). GFT. 1926 models did not have "Duofold" imprinted on the barrel.
