Extraordinary Vintage Pens

1
1915 Everest #2 eyedropper-fill Doctor’s Pen in Black Hard Rubber with a Gold-filled overlay in a chased pattern and a repousse foliate cap-top. Everest was located in Turin, Italy. It’s not known if Everest actually manufactured their pens or contracted with some of the major Italian pen companies, such as Omas and Aurora, for manufacturing, and were only a marketing organization for their branded high quality pens. Everest Pen catalogs have been found. A few pinpoint dings here and there (none serious), otherwise near mint. Correct “14C Warranted 1st Quality” nib. Shown with the bottom cap unscrewed & removed, and the thermometer (centigrade) on display. Close-up photo of pen and thermometer.

Cleto Munari

Born in Gorizia, Italy, Cleto Munari describes himself as a globetrotter, collector, and inventor. He met the prominent Italian architect Carlo Scarpa in the 1970s and, with him, started producing objects in precious metal. In 1985 he set up a workshop-studio for the manufacture of unique objects in collaboration with some of the greatest architects, designers, artists, and writers in the world, among them Mario Botta, Alessandro Mendini, Alvaro Siza Vieira, Mimmo Paladino, Sandro Chia, and Dario Fo. Munari has devoted a major part of his enterprise to producing glassware in Murano, assisted by some of the master glassblowers of the Venetian Lagoon region. His creations can be found in the permanent collections of major museums across five continents, including, in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art.

Among his most famous design collections is the Five Pens series—each pen is dedicated to a different Nobel Prize winning writer (Naguib Mahfouz, José Saramago, Saul Bellow, Toni Morrison and Wole Soyinka), from whom he obtained handwritten letters. He then asked five different renowned architects and designers (Toyo Ito, Oscar Tusquets Blanca, Alessandro Mendini, Alvaro Siza Vieira and Cleto Munari himself) to design a set of five beautiful pens. The finished writing utensils are luxurious and inspiring. The writings that inspired the pens were collected into book form, which accompagnies each pen. The Book of Five Pens contains facsimiles of each of the letters, information about the authors and design features of each pen. The pens were made by Stipula for Munari.

The original list price of the 5-pen edition was well over $3000, over $5,000 with the sixth pen we have added. Each pen has an 18K nib, is new-old-stock, mint, and presented in it’s individual box with all papers.

We are fortunate to have two of the Oscar Tusquets pen, one in Black with rhodium-plate trim, and one in Red, with gold-plate trim. So while the edition is of five pens, there are actually six.

1936 Aurora Etiopia eyedropper-fill “Trench-Pen” in Ivory Casein. GFT, including the wide “Greek Key” cap band in the center of the two narrower bands. Aurora’s marketed the pen as having been manufactured for Italian military officers who were engaged at the time in the war in Abyssinia (Ethiopia), it was never commercially available in shops and the fact remains that it is a very rare item. The cap adorns an engraved eagle and the blind cap unscrews for ink pellet storage. Fine, flexible nib. User grade (and priced accordingly), but so rare and of historical importance I am offering it here. Slight discoloring of the cap and barrel; sealed cap lip cracks; two spots of minor pitting to the celluloid barrel. In near mint condition sells for $4500 (see Catalog #68, item #2) to $5000, this example at 20% of the price.
$1000

1935 Big Ben Model 6K Faceted BF in Green Pearl Web. GFT. Niels Benzion, of the Benzion Trading Company in Copenhagen, worked at Wahl Eversharp in US. When he returned to Denmark he opened an agency to sell Wahl Eversharp pens. Because they sold all they could import (there were strict import quotas), and still had unfilled demand, they started manufacturing button-fill pens in 1933 under the Big Ben name (their piston-fill pens were made for them by a German manufactured, Hebborn & Co). No wonder this pen looks so much like a Wahl Doric! Medium/fine nib. Near mint.

1925 Hutcheon #4 size LF in Red Mottled Hard Rubber. Hutcheon was founded around 1915 in Brooklyn, NY to manufacture mechanical pencils and fountain pens.

This example has a wonderful barrel imprint, “Property of NY Telephone Company.” GFT. Fine, semi-flexible nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1935 Omas/Pagliero Plevonia BF in Khaki Green Laminated (Parker Vacumatic look-a-like), set off with Black ends. Pagliero was founded 1917 in Settimo Torinese, Italy and made buttons and other celluloid items. Their fountain pen production started in the mid-1920s. By the 30s they produced only pens. This Plevonia was almost certainly made by Omas for Pagliero, as it is a design match in every way to other Omas pens of the period, and even has an “Omas Extra” nib (medium/fine, extra-flexible). Also, the Pagliero factory produced only mid-range pens and this is clearly a high end pen. GFT, including the wide center “Greek Key” cap band and rollerball clip. This is the only size in which the Plevonia was manufactured. Near mint.

1946 Parker 51 RED BAND button-fill in Black with Brushed Lustraloy (stainless steel) cap. Very rare filler mechanism, made only in 1946-7! Shown open so you can see the button. This is the later version, with aluminum blind cap threads (the earlier version has plastic threads). Parker had a problem with the 51 collectors flooding – this system was supposed to solve that issue. The system was so difficult to repair Parker soon dropped it from production, replacing it in 1948 with the Aerometric-filler. I’ve restored this one to perfect working condition. All original parts and guaranteed working order. Medium/fine nib. Near mint+. Shown with blind cap removed.

Fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint.
$450
223

1975 Parker 75 cartridge/converter-fill in Smooth Gold-Plate. Smooth Arrow clip (no feathers on the arrow). Dimpled tassies. Parker 75 gripping section with indexed chrome-plated ring. What is extraordinary about this triangular gripping section is that it is a prototype of the section not introduced until the manufacture of the pen was transferred to France in 1988, made for the wide feed (no nib/feed unit included), but has the 1964 chrome-plated, indexed ring, never put into production with the section for the wide feed.
