Pelikan
Pens and Ephemera

Gleaming deep sapphire blue makes this our favorite color of the Pelikan Souverän line. Our preowned pen was gently used once or twice and then put away. It looks close to new. Arriving in its original box, this is an ideal pen for work or play. Bold, dynamic and, yet, not gaudy at all. Unscrew the tail cap to replace the refill. You get a working blue Pelikan rollerball refill with this great pen. The logo is of a golden mama pelican with two chicks on a black background. 13.1cm capped.

We love the space-age silver-and-black design of this special edition Pelikan Souverän R215 rollerball pen. This pen was released in 2008. It appears to be New Old Stock. A preowned pen, we don't think it ever saw action, and if it did, it was used once and put away. It comes with its original boxes and tags. Included is a working Pelikan refill. 12.5cm capped.

In the 1990s, Pelikan started having a ton of fun with its standard issue Souverän pen designs. This Pelikan Souverän R730 is an especially nice rollerball pen with a sterling silver cap and tail cap. The tail cap is perfect and there is only one shallow dent in the side of the cap you can see in the photo. Click the headline for close-ups. In real life, you will easily find the dent if you are looking for it, but you will easily miss it, if you aren't looking for it. The rest of the pen comes with minimal light wear from use. You also get a working blue refill with the pen. 12.5cm capped.

Black and gold adds classic elegance to the luxury pencils of Pelikan. This Pelikan Souverän D200 is a great clicker pencil. Just like a Parker Jotter ballpoint, this pencil advances .5mm lead with a click of the tail plunger. This pre-owned pencil looks sharp with only minimal, if any, wear. Made in West Germany, the imprint belies its age. The top of the clicker is golden with a simplistic mama pelican and single chick that is part of the line of the nest. The eraser under the clicker has hardened. 13.5cm.

Pelikan pens with stub/italic nibs are difficult to find. However, this Pelikan M100 features a great 1.0mm nib. The preowned pen is in great working order with only some light wear. The only real flaw is that most of the gold-plating has come off the steel nib. On the plus side, the piston filler works very smoothly. You will write a very smooth line with great variation. The logo on the cap topper is black with a golden imprint of a mama pelican with two chicks in their nest. It's a short slender pen. 12.1cm capped.

If you love the look of Pelikan Souverän fountain pens but don't want the hassle of filling from a bottle of ink, try out the Pelikan Souverän R600. This is the mid-sized luxury pen with great green stripes. It uses standard size refills, allowing Pelikan, Waterman, generic and possibly even Pilot G2 refills! We include a free refill with the pen. Our preowned pen has light wear from use but no significant blemishes. The logo is a frosted gold with a shiny golden mama pelican with a single chick. 13.2cm capped.

Modern Pelikan looked back at its earliest models to recreate the perfect modern-vintage writing experience. The end result was this elegant recreation of a 101-series pen with solid 18k gold overlay. This pen has never been used and is new old stock. The pen name is a mouthful: the Pelikan Original 1931 Of Their Time limited edition. Numbered 2070 of 5000. You'll find its piston still operates smoothly. Click the headline for a close-up of its 18k gold nib that is marked medium. We haven't written with it, as we are maintaining the integrity of its newness. Comes with its complete boxes and papers. 11.7cm capped.

Celebrating its 150th birthday, Pelikan released a special black-and-silver pencil. It designated it the Pelikan K730. Twist the tail cap to advance and retract the .5mm lead. Unfortunately, there are several dimples in the silver tail cap. No name is engraved on the name plate. 12.5cm.
