Aurora
Pens and Ephemera

Italian pen makers are best known for their beautiful celluloid designs, and we have Aurora to thank for starting that trend in Italy in 1925. The company actually started in 1919. In spite of getting bombed during World War II, the company has continued producing fine writing instruments to this day. Its best known pen is the Aurora 88. Some variation of the 88 has remained in production since 1948.

Paying tribute to the 7 continents of Earth, Aurora created a special edition of luxury pens. This is the Aurora Afrika. Quite possibly new old stock, the white piston on this pen shows no trace of ink. In fact, this warm orangy brown pen with black swirls is almost entirely perfect. Click the headline for close ups. We don't see much, if any, wear. The only flaw we see is that the gold filling of the limited edition number has fallen out of the back of the cap. Yet, it is still easy to read the imprint that this is pen number 4309. There's a beauiful onyx on top of the cap. Marked under the 18k gold nib is an "M" for medium point. We have not written with this pen, in case it is, in deed, new old stock. Comes with original boxes and papers. Its bottle of ink is still sealed. Pen measures 12.9cm capped.
