Platignum 100

[jog2110]

I have recently aquired a platignum100 fountain pen and all I have managed to find out about it is that it is filled with muslin and you leave it in ink for a minute to fill it.

It seems to work well although the section unscrews the wrong way and someone has tried to unscrew it the normal way leaving a few marks on the section and some hairline cracks to the barrel.

Do you have any idea of its worth? Age? Length of production? Anything else?

Any info on this pen would be gratefully received.

Thousands of pen experts and no-one can tell me anything about this pen?/??????

 

I've attached a photo, not that I really think that will help. Oh and I forgot to say that there's a small metal lined hole in the barrel, presumably to let the air our and suck the ink up.

I think Richard had one at one time. Drop him a line and he can likely tell you more.

Hi,

 

It's so long since I've seen one of these pens that I might have it wrong, but I believe it's a version of Waterman’s capillary X-Pen that was manufactured by Platignum under licence. If so, it's a higher quality pen than Platignum's usual output. It's a pity about the barrel cracks, which will affect the value. It wouldn't fetch a high price anyway, but it has curiosity value to anyone interested in capillary fillers. I don't remember the dates, I'm afraid.

 

Regards,

Deb
