Pre-Owned Pens

We'd take a Cross Peerless 125 ballpoint pen any day over a Montblanc LeGrand ballpoint. Large for easier gripping, we love its 23k gold plate and metal construction. There's a Swarovski crystal in the cap jewel. Plus, it takes more affordable, easy-to-find ballpoint refills. This pen is almost perfect with only a couple small scratches. No dents. It comes with its original box and papers. It also has a snazzy acrylic block display. Also includes a working, black Cross refill. 14.5cm

Don't overlook the Cross Peerless 125 rollerball pen as a modern luxury pen. It is a large, rugged, handsome pen that writes as smoothly as any competitor. Marking 125 years since the original Cross Peerless appeared in 1889, this pen features a textured look that is 23k gold plated. A Swarovski crystal serves as the top jewel in the cap. This pen looks great except for a little wear. No dents nor deep scratches. Comes complete with its original box, papers and an acrylic "Cross" pen stand that is a little difficult to see in this image. 14.4cm capped.

Sterling silver horses gallop around the barrel of this New Old Stock Stipula Laurus fountain pen. The winning horse is gold-plated and bursting through a laurel of victory. Genuinely as much a work of art as it is a very collectible luxury pen. You can see this pen comes with its original boxes, including a stunning wooden case. Not shown in the photos are the pair of white gloves for handling the pen, a leather pouch and a magnification glass to better see the artistry of the horses in high relief. A treasure this holiday season for any writer who loves horses. Click the headline for close-ups.

Earning the eternal enmity of the Gods, Prometheus gave humans fire, according to the ancient Greeks. That story is the inspiration for this sumptuous sterling silver pen with 18k gold accents. The Stipula Prometheia is the very definition of luxury and artistry. Our preowned pen is New Old Stock, still sealed in its original plastic sleeve. That is why we used the photo of it from one of the booklets that comes with the pen. (We only have the silver version. The photo in the booklet shows the gold one, too, but it is not included.) In addition to this truly handsome wooden case, you also get a magnifier, white gloves for handling and a leather pen pouch. The perfect pen gift for the collector who thinks they have everything! No returns if the plastic sleeve is opened. Guaranteed original and authentic. Click the headline for another photo.

The original Parker Snake pen was first introduced in 1906. It was a black hard rubber eyedropper pen with a sterling silver overlay in the design of an emerald-eyed snake. It was a gorgeous pen and very expensive. Few were made and survive. As such, it is among the most sought after pens by vintage pen collectors. Parker rereleased a Snake pen 100 years later in a more modern cartridge/converter format. This is one of those modern luxury pens that is still new in the box...never used. It comes with all of its original boxes and papers. Perfect for display or even use, if you desire. The website can't figure out the shipping on such a large box and might cost extra...especially for international destinations. Please e-mail for details.

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.

Warm the heart of the baseball fan in your life, as we wait for nearly 5 cold months until the new season begins, with this ruggedly handsome Rawlings briefcase. Yes, that Rawlings: makers of the famous baseball mitts! Leather tough enough to catch a screaming 100mph line drive ought to be able to protect a laptop, cell phone, some pens and paper files. Afterall, they use the "heart of the hide." This briefcase was only gently used. Aside from a few marks on the bottom back of the case, it looks almost new. Click the headline for close-ups. Open the magnetic closure of the front flap to reveal a phone holder and pen holders. The main zippered pocket has room for a laptop and files. There's a slim pocket in the back with a zipper, too. We love the baseball glove stitches on the handles. Includes original shoulder strap. E-mail for interior photos. Shipping might cost more than the website can predict. 16.5"L X 12.5" H X 6.25 W X 18" Diagonal.

The Parker 51 was such a wildly popular pen, the company has tried several times to bring it back since the 1990s. This is their second attempt, which they called the Parker 100. We actually think these pens were quite elegant and should have been more popular than they were. This ballpoint version of the Parker 100 has a dark-blue barrel, and dark-pearl-grey cap and gold plated trim. The brushed gold nose cone has some scratches, but the rest of the pen only shows light wear from use. We installed a brand-new Parker style refill with black ink. The pen has a little weight, which makes it a really smooth writer. You also get its boxes. 13.7cm.
