Vintage Pens: 5510: Pelikan: Graphos
Pelikan first developed the Pelikan Graphos system for technical drawing in the 1930s. This appears to be one of those sets from before the war, although we aren't certain. In theory this pen fills with ink, but we aren't sure how or if this one does. It is a large boxed set with what appear to be 4 nibs that are missing. There are 3 widgets of some sort to the right of the pen in the box, and one of them is potentially missing...unless it is installed in the pen and we are too ignorant to know.

Vintage Pens: 5046 Sterling Silver Repousse
Filling Mechanism: Dip)
Era: 1900-1909   Fountain Pen Nib Size: SF
Price: $399.99
Vintage Pens: 5046: Sterling Silver: Repousse
Classy, elegant, sophisticated. Dip pen fans will love this sterling silver repousse antique pen. We suspect it comes from around the turn of the 20th century. It could be older. The holder is marked "Sterling," but there is no formal branding. Ergo, we don't know who made it. There are a couple little marks on the pen, and one of the silver edges where the nib goes in has split just a teeny-tiny amount. We included a "new" Esterbrook Bronze Falcon 048 nib, which is NOS. You will write a firm, smooth line from extra-fine to about 1mm. This is semi-flex and far from a wet noodle. Click the headline for close-ups. Yes, our cat is holding the pen down for a nib close-up, and, no, he is not for sale with the pen. 18.5cm.
Pre-Owned Pens: 4921 Pelikan Level
Filling Mechanism: _Other
Era: 1980-present   Fountain Pen Nib Size: F
Price: $75.00
Pre-Owned Pens: 4921: Pelikan: Level
Pelikan Level fountain pens created the first new filling system in fountain pens in decades. We don't even know the name of the filling system. The concept was that the tail of the pen locked into a specially made inkwell, then you filled the pen. Unfortunately, we don't have the special inkwell that this pen needs. However, we do have the matching .5mm pencil. The pencil works well. The pen's steel nib writes a fine line with some feedback. Neither writing instrument has very much wear, just a little. However, there are some deep scratches on the section grip of the pen. Click the headline for close-ups.
