Élysée - Exceptional Treasure Found - Who Knows These Models?


SwissSpirit

Recommended Posts

Dear Community,

 

Just a week ago, while cleanig up our inherited attic, we found this Elysée treasure:

It obviously is an original, complete Élysée sales presentation case in absolut mint condition!

This beautiful, flawless set contains 24 ready-for-use writing instruments (fountain pens, ballpoint pens, pencils and rollerball pens) in perfect functional condition!

Just one fountain pen was used for testings.

In addition, there are 2 liquid ink cartridges, 2 ballpoint, 3 pencil and 5 rollerball spares refills, 5 nib spares and 3 pen tip spares....and an original Élysée writing pad!

According to a reference to R. Dummert GmbH & Co. KG, Pforzheim, West-Germany, this must be a pre-Staedtler i.e. a pre-1992 sales presentation set.

That is all we could find out ourselves!

 

Now to my question:

With the exception of the 60 series WORLD MAP models, I could not find any of these slim and beautiful Élisée models in the internet!

Does anybody know the shown Élysée writing instrument types/models e.g. name, year etc?

We, the family, would be very grateful for any respective feedback on our exeptional finding!

Thank you very much, indeed, Conrad -Switzerland

I wish I could find something like that in my attic/storage.

My wife lucked into a few pens for me at a distant small flea market an Elysee. A grey pen with a gold plated world tastefully on it with some vertical lines on it.

Original price was E115?/DM115??...........she got it, an English Parker Flighter set and a Chinese pen for @ E 35.

 

I'd seen a few Elysee pens at a few flea markets....but in they are nails...I had less interest. When I did get back once...they were gone. :doh:

I knew there were nice names....but they were nails.

 

(Got to photograph this stuff.)

 

I'd pick a few of the pens for your selves before selling any.

 

I know there is some info out there in when I found the World Map, there were other Elysee pens.

 

Just remembered there were some real beautiful hand made artist Elysee pens when I found that World Map pen.

Stuff that wanted me to start scouring the net ....with money I didn't have. :)

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Thank you for your post.....we are, indeed, lucky to have made this find! But unfortunately, we are not in collecting writing instruments!

You don't have to collect to own and use just one.

 

Writing with a fountain pen is much better than writing with a ball point or there would be lots of ball point coms.

 

Ebay is where it appears you want....it's quick. Here you have to hang around a lot before you are allowed to sell.

Thank you, Bo Bo Olson, we shall have to consider this eBay option! But before putting the collection on an auction portal, we have to do further research on the different Elysee writing instrument models, year and approx. value..... Conrad

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
