Caran D'ache And Aurora Identification Help

[cobaltcaliber]

Hello, FPN,

This is my first post here, so let's hope it's successful!

My dad gave me two fountain pens, one made by Caran D'Ache and the other by Aurora, and I haven't been able to Identify them myself so far, so I'm hoping someone can help.

Here are the photos:

First up the Caran D'Ache Pen:

And the Aurora:

I don't have a camera, so I had to use my webcam, sorry.

On the band of the Caran D'Ache, it says CARAN d'ACHE SWISS MADE

and on the Aurora the band says Aurora Italy

Both of the pens are made of plastic/resin

If anyone could tell me what kind of pens they are and if the color is a rarity or anything, that would be greatly appreciated

The Aurora is an Ipsilon the Caran d'Ache has an older style clip but looks like a Leman...but I am uncertain if that model had a different name.

None of these pens are rare. They both have steel nibs and both are of excellent quality. I have been using an Ipsilon for over 10 years it's a fantastic workhorse pen.

The first IIRC is the Caran d'Ache Genève Equinox which was a steel nib version. I last saw them sold for around $75.00. The Genève series was the predecessor of the current Leman series. There was also an 18k nib version called just Genève.

Thanks so much for the responses guys! Good to know what I have

Top Pen, Caran d’Ache Leman

 

Bottom Pen, Caran d’Ache Equinoxe 

 

Both pens intrigued me for years; I finally moved up from the 849 to the Leman and Equinoxe realizing what great pens Caran makes.
