Some pics of very rare vintage Pelikan accessories from the late 1930s

[mana]

Lucked out and was able to purchase two very rare items for my vintage Pelikan collection: a retail luxury pen case meant for the 100 or very early (1938) 100N and the accompanying mechanical pencil set (Etui R), and a NR. 4 pen stand, both in matching silver-mottled black bakelite.

 

Since their manufacturing was limited to just few years (or perhaps to 1938 only) they are exceedingly rare finds.

 

Those silvery bits do not translate that well in photos but they do glimmer in light very nicely.

 

I already had three different variants of the pen stand in black, so this was a really wonderful, and functional addition to my desk (yes, I like to keep them in use).

Congratulations! It is especially interesting to know that it has been preserved for so many years. -

Wow, wonderful, and the old Pelikan logo, was quite some time since I last saw it.

Great find! Love to see those old accessories being preserved and used.

Didn't know such existed. Very good finds.

Thank you all for the comments! I will try to do a better "State of the collection" type photo shoot of those and other interesting things in my vintage Pelikan collection for the "Family Photos of Your Flock" thread since it might be a while until new items will be added to it.

I especially like the fitted case for the 100N an dmatching pencil, mana!  Is it made from bakelite, I guess?  Very nice!

The outside left mechanical pencil came with my Pelikan 100 CN nibbed fountain pen.

It didn't feel like bakelite but i wasn't looking for that. Don't know and it's

The one in the middle is NOS 200 set, and the outside right one is a 450-mid 50's to I don't know when....it came with a 455BP and 400nn.

In the time when free drugstore advertised ball points were coming in over here $28 at 3 DM to 1 or $42 at 2DM to $1.00 was a lot of money.

The end slice shows more of the color, '30's Pelikan mechanical pencil.

 

The '30's button filler Osmia has been repaired.

Thanks! Yup, bakelite, in the brochures it was called “Kunstharz”, which basically translates to synthetic resin.
