Pre-Owned Pens

The artistry of Italian craftsmen at Montegrappa never ceases to impress. This special Montegrappa Extra Stylographe fountain pen seems to harness the warmth and happiness of the sun on even the coldest nights. Orange flames of celluloid shoot up and down the cap and barrel of this preowned luxury pen, tempered by sterling silver accents. We aren't sure if this pen has ever been used. It looks as if it is new old stock. The only possible clue it was used is the bottle of blue ink that comes with it looks as if it might be drawn down by one or two refills. We filled the pen with water, and the water came out clear. The piston filler works well. However, it has a unique ticking and vibration, as if it is geared like a clock. We didn't write with it, but it has an 18k gold nib that writes a medium line. Complete with original boxes and papers.

Russia's great empress Catherine the Great gets her due from the Montblanc Patron of the Arts with this sumptuous luxury pen. One of only 4,810 pens, you can see this one is still sealed in its original plastic. The pen comes complete with all of its boxes and papers. Guaranteed authentic. For those who look to use it, it comes with a solid gold medium nib. Perfect for use or a museum-worthy collection.

Factory sealed and never used, behold the Montblanc Peter the Great fountain pen from the Patron of the Arts limited edition series. The green and gold is stunning on this luxury pen. Should you wish to be the first to write with it, it comes with a solid-gold, medium-point nib. The pen comes complete with its original boxes 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.

It is good to get silly and have some fun with your pens from time to time. The Acme Paintbrush pen is a great way to get a rise out of someone. Great for teachers and artists, especially, this is a fully operational rollerball pen. You get a working black refill and its original box. Nice wide grip and a long pen. 18.7cm long.

"Where did Robinson Crusoe go with Friday on Saturday night?" We can't get the old Max Morath song out of our head since photographing these Montblanc Daniel Defoe limited edition pens. This ballpoint version of the pen looks brand new and comes with all its complete boxes and papers. The resin body has lines that make it look a little like wood. The ballpoint refill still writes a nice blue line. The pen is dedicated to Daniel Defoe's novel "Robinson Crusoe." Guaranteed authentic.

Getting extra fancy, Montblanc went all out to design its special edition Montblanc Starwalker Ceramics Doué pens. From swirls in the platinum-plated cap that line up with the swirls in the white ceramic barrel to an exquisitely weighted and balanced writing experience, it is difficult not to love this preowned luxury pen. Screw the cap onto the tail to avoid causing any wear to the finish, which is lovely with minimal trace of wear or use. Guaranteed authentic, it comes with its original boxes, a serial number on the pocket clip and "Made in Germany / Metal" written under the clip. It comes loaded with a working blue fineliner refill, but it also takes Montblanc rollerball refills. 13.5cm capped.

Pelikan makes some of the sharpest special edition pens on the market. The way light reflects off the layers of celluloid flakes in this Pelikan K805 Vibrant Blue ballpoint pen is absolutely dazzling. Slowly rotate it under a bright light and it seems as if you'll never see the same image twice. Twist the tail cap on this preowned luxury pen to advance and retract the working blue Parker-style refill. Included with the pen are a cream-colored leather pouch and its original box. The pouch has a few imprints in it. However, the Vibrant Blue pen is in nearly perfect condition. 13.8cm.

Demonstrator pens are so much fun, as we love watching all of the internal parts of the pen operate. You'll have a good time with this modern classic Pelikan Souverän M250 Demonstrator. We've tried cleaning out all of its old red ink, but inks are especially stubborn in demonstrator pen. Nevertheless, this pen is in great working order and comes complete with its original leather pouch and box! No cracks and only light wear on the pen. You will notice what they say about German nibs is true. It is marked fine, but it writes closer to medium with a little feedback. Click the headline for a close-up. The logo on the cap is black with a golden mama pelican and two chicks. 12.4cm capped.
