Italian Auch Pelikan Ad From 1935 ...

I really like this hand-drawn sketch with real hand-writing! The use of the pencil and the results are proof of the Auch Pelikan value! The pencil in the ad appears to be a piece of finished art. Gunther Wagner factory in Milan

Some by-guess and by-gosh translations:

 

The Pelikan Automatic Pencil.

 

A light pressure and here comes the lead. And more to follow automatically.

 

A few simple parts, so simply dependable.

Pelikan as far as I know had a factory there....had them in other countries also....perhaps Czechoslovakia. Croatia....the home of the piston pen invention.

I'm not sure if the ones in Portugal were just special made for there or if they had a small factory.

A factory need not 'produce'; parts could be assembled there....for the made in where ever, getting around import fees.

Thanks Bo Bo!

Here's a note from Rick P in the archives who also substantiates the factory:

 

Following World War II (in 1947) Pelikan opened a factory in Milan. It is, by the way, the only documented production of pens beyond Hannover, though parts may have been assembled in Danzig, Zagreb, Lisbon and a few other places.

To make a long story short the venture was not a success because of quality control issues.

But in the interim Pelikan produced the 100N model in Milano. As the poster notes correctly the pens have some distinct characteristics, most notably the integrated binde. There were also locally made nibs and clips. The nibs, in fact, write more Italian than German in feel.

 

I put an Auch Pelikan on the ad just for reference. It is not from the Milan factory. I do have a model 100N alleged to be from the Milano factory with an integrated binde ...

If it is not, don't tell me. I wanted a 100N for every-day use. This one seemed interesting.

Don't know, but Fend made Fendograph in Milan before the war. I have a pre-war Fendograph Safety Pen. 18k rolled gold overlay in both.

 

Photo taken from auction house catalog, in I won the pen...always figure the photo is mine too.

Bo Bo,

 

WOW! What a beauty. (above comment)

The workmanship and design show that jeweler's ethos which seems to permeate FEND products. My small collection of FEND focuses on the pencils and BPs as they used the Norma patents and under their own name for single and multi-color products. There are interesting design changes as as the times change.

      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..

      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
