Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I'm looking for information on vintage Pelikan pen boxes, specifically which box(es) is correct/original for which model from the 1930s to the 1960s. Photos would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Rob

This is a tall order, since there were literally hundreds of boxes.

 

But Rob also gives us the opportunity to create a rather nice and a unique archive of boxes.

 

If people can start posting boxes, I would be happy to identify those that need to be identified and toward the end would be happy to fill in any holes we have left. We won't be complete, but we can try. If this takes off I may try to bring in some of the European guys as well

Tony, this is a guess, but it looks like a fancy presentation case for a 400, but that is just a guess.

 

At the weekend I'll try to put up some of my stuff including 1938 catalogue pages.

That's quite amazing for a guess because I think you're spot on. It came with a knicky from the same era, and the 100n was just for decoration. You truly are the master in this game.

 

And of course christof with his museum grade stuff and pro photography. Just fantastic.

      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
