What's The Most Expensive Fountain Pen You Ever Bought?

[Bigeddie]

I'm using the highest and probably joint third today. The MB 1912 wins by some way!

Nice MB 1912, I wish I had the funds to buy the MB 1914 Coral!

The Pelikan M800 tortoise from 2012 has been my most expensive pen purchase to date, but well worth it.

The Bic I used to sign the Marriage License application.

You win. Well, not really, but surely the best response.

[Anirban4u]

A vac junior, an imperial III and an expert. I am almost broke, but am I glad!

[dornblaser]

Aurora Optima...and worth it.

 

A blue one is calling to me. If I purchase it, it will top the M800.

My most expensive one is still the third FP I`ve ever bought:

_Sailor Sapporo (from nibs.com), about 180 euros

 

(living in Europe it`s too expensive buying pens from the US - that`s why the Classifieds are not interesting for me)

For my 40th birthday, I bought a Nakaya writer's model for about $500. Worth every penny.

I recently bought a used MB 146 for $220. That's the top of my range.

[Tanzanite]

270€ for a Sailor Pro Gear.

PARKER DUOFOLD CITRINE CHECK CENTENNIAL

Reading over the various posts, it occurred to me that the subject question could either be interpreted as "the most money spent on a pen" or "the most valuable pen you own" (regardless of what was actually paid).

So, while (as I said) my most *expensive* pen is the M400, the most *valuable* might be the Parker 51 Aero Demi in Plum, simply because it's not as easy to find a replacement -- especially for the price I got it for (not a sumgai, just a very good deal). Yes, it's a beater pen, with a fair amount of corrosion on the sac sleeve. No, you may NOT borrow it....

A Raden Pilot VP, of about 400 USD... This is the only one time I bought a pen only for its looks but not the nib.

Rational position, Ruth. Along those lines my most valuable pen would be the 1948 51 vac demonstrator my Dad gave me for my 57th b'day. Once restored it will be not only quite a bit more rare than my mid 80s 149, it is likely to be more valuable. And to think Dad only paid $7.50 for it at an estate sale.

On a spiff to Jar...The pen I signed my divorce papers with.

I have to go with this one. Retract my former comments....

I only started collecting this year and initially I wasn't even comfortable spending on a Lamy Safari. My most expensive pen is currently the Bexey Corona. ^_^
