I Need Help Identifying A Caran D'ache Fountain Pen


hossam

Recommended Posts

Hello pen experts.

I have this fountain pen that I need your expert knowledge to help me identify with the year, model and if possible, the value.

 

The pen's body has the engraving,

"Caran D'Ache Gold Plated G" - Not sure what G means.

 

The nib says 18C - 750 B - Not sure what 750 or B mean.

 

The nib also has a number engraved inside above the screw 255816 - Not sure what this number is.

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

 

It is a Madison.

 

750 is 18K .750% gold.

 

The "B" is that it is a broad nib.

 

Nice pen.

Welcome, Hossam. What a great slim line design Madison. And with the cisele finish! I think it looks better than the cisele model in the more traditionally shaped Geneve.

Thank you for the prompt response and help. I really appreciate it.

Would you possibly know what the real value of this pen would be?

I am trying to know if I got a bargain or not. I tried to check the prices of sold listing on eBay but could only find 2 pens sold and both are 14k rather than 18k on the nib.

 

Thanks again :)

The 14k vs 18K nib will likely not make a price difference but prices really are pretty close to impossible to establish beyond you deciding if you like the pen more than the money you paid for it.

Thank you so much. That pretty much sums it up.

I think it's a keeper.

 

Thanks again.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
