Pens and Ephemera

Kick up your desk's fashion sense a notch with an attractive rocker blotter. We think the top of this blotter is made of pewter, but we aren't sure. A steel bottom bends like a spring to remove and replace the blotter paper. This model comes with blue blotter paper that was used twice and is ready for more action. The metal topper gives it some nice heft. There is some wear on the "pewter" topper. 9.2cm L X 5.2cm W X 3.3cm H.

Every desk could use a classic rocker blotter to complete the look of a fountain pen lifestyle. This wooden blotter shows a little wear from use. You unscrew the knob to access and replace the blue blotter paper held within. It has a little ink staining from use but still has a long life of blotting ahead of it. 4 1/4 inches wide by 2 1/8th inches tall.

Who says pens need to be serious all the time. Some can be serious fun! Take our Hechter Travel Pen for example. It is like writing with an entire safari in Africa. As far as quality goes, it is just a basic fountain pen with a steel nib. It comes with a converter, too. The clip seems to have heavy brassing, and the pen has some wear. There is a little crack in the lip of the cap. Do NOT post the cap on the tail. You will write a fine line with a little feedback. 14cm capped.

We think that this is the short-lived Imperial fountain pen made in Nassau, NY. The cap band is imprinted with the Imperial name, much like the very rare Parker Vacumatic pens with a "Vacumatic" engraved in the cap band. We think the trim might be plated-silver that is brassing. A good ink sac has been installed. We love the blue-and-grey design. It comes with an "Imperial" imprinted 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. You will see the bottom side of the nib is cracked in the photo. You will write a semi-flex line that grows from extra-fine to about 1mm wide. It is a big scratchy. 13.3cm capped.

Blessed are those who love writing with a pen from Vatican City. This collectible ballpoint from the Vatican Museums sports themes of landmarks and images from all around the Vatican. It comes with its original box and paper. It features a "Vatican Museums" refill, which is really a Parker-style refill easily found anywhere in the U.S....and probably everywhere else. The Holy Pen Designer seems to have had a thing for modern Parker Duofold ballpoints. The pen is nicely weighted and shows a little light wear from use. 12.9cm.

We're all here in a steampunk submarine. A steampunk submarine. A steampunk submarine. Welcome to the most fanciful luxury pen we have ever seen: the Jean Pierre LePine Graphyscaf (The Ocean)! Designed to look like a steel-and-brass submarine from a time when Jules Verne wrote about them, this is an intense fountain pen that is NEW OLD STOCK. Never used, it remains a museum-worthy piece of functional art. Our favorite detail about the pen itself is the ink reservoir portal which features a whimsical underseas scene. Its display is a portal like window box of steel and brass, which you can fill with the included sand and seashells! The entire arrangement is packed in a wooden crate to keep it safe.

A light-walnut brown leather, this 4-pen roll is extremely soft and supple to the touch. It shows some wear but it is so amazing to touch. The interior is likely a grey nylon fabric with slots big enough to hold a Montblanc 146, maybe even a 149, but that seems as if it would push the boundaries of the slots. Also inside is an unsecured pocket, and a very small zippered pocket for securing ink cartridges or rollerball refills. 18.8cm long.

With a design inspired by a zeppelin, the Giuliano Mazzuoli Nobile Italia commemorates a failed 1928 crossing of the North Pole by blimp. Italian general Umberto Nobile attempted to fly the airship Nobile over the North Pole on a second flight following his successful effort to do so a few years earlier. Unfortunately, the Italia crashed, but luckily everyone on board survived and was rescued. This ballpoint pen is in excellent condition showing minimal wear. It comes with a working Parker-style refill in black. Unscrew the nose cone to replace the refill. Twist the blind cap in the tail to advance and retract the refill. 12.4cm.
