I bought a Toledo M900 few months ago, used it for a couple of days, cleaned it and put it in the pen case. Today, by chance, I took it out and immediately noticed stains on the beautiful art work. Initially I thought it was oxidation, but even if the main metal in Toledo is silver, everything is plated with gold. Oxidation or not I'm very unhappy with how this expensive Toledo looks after less than a year. I attached some pics, maybe you guys have seen this before. I will also contact Pelikan.

What is the correct nib for an early M700 Toledo, 18k gold monotone or 18k bicolour?

Hello pen people. Newly registered after seeing the FPN Blue Pearl limited edition and wondering if it's still available. Figured I'd also say hello.... Short version: I spent crazy money today on my Holy Grail pen: Pelikan M910 Toledo. Longer version: I'm more of a fountain pen amateur, not a collector, just love fountain pens and putting a pen to paper. Bought my first FP in 2005, a Pelikan Souveran M600, sold it a couple years later and replaced it with the M805 whose size I prefer, what I'd call my favorite pen except for that Toledo that I've drooled over for about 10 years now. Recently sold some items I wasn't using and built up the funny money stash. Three possibilities: 1. be responsible and pay bills 2. maximize the value by buying a few cheaper pens 3. cry once and buy what you love and don't tell people how much you spent, and use it daily, a real workhorse. There have been only several occasions in the past when I've done #3 and have no regrets. So yeah you know what I did. It arrives tomorrow. Its main diet will be Edelstein Olive Green but apparently that won't be available until ~2018, so I guess I'll feed it the 4001 Brilliant Brown that I have on hand. Nib is Fine because in my experience the Pelikan fine is more like a typical medium - this is about right for my tastes, especially with an everyday writer. I'm crazy excited. Or maybe just crazy. On second thought, there's no "maybe" about it.

Hi, I have a fountain pen that has Curley Pen Co., Toledo engraved into it. I searched both Google and Fountain Pen Network and found no results. Anyone know about this pen or company?

Recently, Massdrop offered the large yellow Toledo with sterling binde. There were only a few pens available, and the discount was not that great, so there were no takers. What got my attention was the viciousness of the comments directed at those who might purchase an expensive pen. You might have thought they were sans-culottes storming the Bastille or Bolsheviks out for the blood of the Tsar. Their attitude seems to be, "If I can't afford it, nobody should buy it." I'd hate to see their reaction if they encountered one of the Make-e versions. You can bet that Massdrop won't be offering anything this nice anytime soon. Envy is a very unattractive thing. http://i.imgur.com/k5vRZ1h.jpg

Hi, does anyone knows of any possibility of buying the Toledo Originals of Time 1931 pen? Thanks Pks

Have been watching a short-cap top Toledo 111T on Ebay (#121276176588). Went for $5,656. Not clear if the seller knew what he had as it was advertized simply as "ANTIQUE PELIKAN FOUNTAIN PEN.." Not sure if the buyer got a good deal or not.
