Remember what a big deal we thought the Millennium would be? Everything was branded with millennium, such as this Rotring Millennium "ArtPen." Rotring vowed to make these through the year 2000. This is the 1996 edition. It appears to be New Old Stock. No trace of wear and the nib doesn't seem to be dipped. You get all of its original boxes and papers. The cap was hand lacquered and looks better than this photo can convey. Click the headline for close-ups. Its two-tone nib looks as if it is gold, but it is not marked such. It is marked "M" for medium, but we have not dipped it to preserve its newness. It fills with standard international cartridges.

Hold that tiger! Speaking of grail pens, what do you think of the hand-painted and lacquered Namiki White Tiger?

Should you ever want to write with it, it comes with its original, unused converter. Also included are its original treasure chest box and papers. The only thing missing seems to be the key to the treasure chest, which has its lock in the open position. A stunning pinnacle of any pen collection.

The roaring '20s were such a fantastic time for automobile racing. The technology was evolving quickly and no race course was too dangerous. Italy's 1000 Miglia (1000-mile Race) was a huge international challenge, tempting the world's greatest drivers to its inaugural run in 1927. The Montegrappa 1000 Miglia fountain pen pays tribute to the 70th anniversary of this first race. Its sterling silver overlay features etched images of the adventure. The racing red celluloid is stunning in the light. We do not believe this pen has been used. It remains in pristine condition. Click the headline for close-ups. Unfortunately, the faux-leather box looks as if it has just raced for 1,000 miles. This faux leather looked great when new and was quite popular with Waterman, too, but it erodes badly with time. Complete box and papers.

We love the green finish on the wooden presentation box. A great design attribute of czarist Russia. Only the outer cardboard boxes show any trace of wear. Perfect for both daily use or a museum piece.

Before the demonstrator craze even got started, an Italian luxury pen manufacturer knew it would be a brilliant idea to showcase its finest wares. Thus, we have the birth of the Visconti Voyager Demonstrator limited edition. Black and yellow lines add panache to the clear cap and barrel of pen number 728 of 888. Its original owner filled it with blue-black ink. We did our best to clear it out, it still is visible in some places. Its piston filler is in good working order. You'll write a nice medium line with its two-tone 18k gold nib, but it might need a little breaking in to get used to daily use once again.
