The Hemingway's prices remain always on the high side from 2900 to 3200€ sometimes a little bit more

 

I don't think so... I see lot of auctions all under 2.000 euro in Europe, like this:

http://www.ebay.it/itm/GORGEOUS-MONTBLANC-WRITERS-EDITIONS-LIMITED-EDITION-HEMINGWAY-YEAR-1992-/390645123926?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5af4438b56

 

 

And in some case under 1.500 euro also but, from unknow ebay-sellers!

Usually there are some differences in the prices between used pens (sometimes without box) and pens in mint condition...

When Georges Zaslavsky speaks about a range from 2900 to 3200 € the pens are NOS; the pen sold by erfobay at € 1885 is used.

Correct :)

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread again. I never tire of seeing photos of the 139 or Hemingway.

 

Wouldn't it be wonderful if MB produced a permanent commemorative line inspired by the old flat tops and bow-tie clips? I can dream.…

 

Thanks again, Daniele, for the wonderful photos.

He doesn't sell them as much as the other vendors I mentionned, he mostly repairs them

There was a used Hemingway at the Dallas show for around $750-1000 with the box. Good shape too.

Interesting - any idea who the vendor was? :)

I'm the complete opposite. I find the Hemingway to be the dullest pen in my collection. If it were not for the fact that I needed it to complete my collection I would never have bought it.

 

I know though that I am in the minority with these thoughts though, but to me things improve over time and I don't like living in the past and rarely buy into nostalgia.

Wait for it...

If they continue with the current Heritage series they even might arrive some day at those wonderful flattops - in 20 years or so :-)

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
