All Pens and Ephemera

Celebrate the holy city of Jerusalem with this stunning Omas Jerusalem 3000 rollerball pen. The city's walls and skyline are the centerpiece of the incredible sterling silver relief work spiraling up and down the cap and barrel. We polished this handsome Italian-made pen and didn't see any significant wear. We also gave it a brand new blue Schmidt P8126 refill, which you can find easily at any office supply store. Unscrew the blind cap in the tail of the pen to switch out refills. There is a tiny "M" imprint on the silver nose cone of the pen, in case that means anything to die-hard Omas collectors. The artistry and heft of the silver gives this preowned luxury pen additional gravitas. 14cm capped.

Paying tribute to 3,000 years as a city, the Omas Jerusalem 3000 rollerball pen is smooth-writing choice at this particular time of year. Our preowned pen is the basic red model with golden trim. No cracks nor deep scratches...only light wear from use. We replaced its refill with an easily obtained blue Schmidt P8126 capless rollerball refill. All you have to do is unscrew the tail's blind cap to switch it out. Light weight, comfortable writing. 13.3cm capped.

Given the total lack of ink staining any part of this Omas 630 Demo, we think it might be new old stock! No cracks. No deep scratches. Not much, if any, wear. We did not dip its golden alloy nib, as it might be a NOS pen. However, if you click the headline for close-ups, you will see it is marked "F" for fine. Slender. Light weight. Nice Greek key cap band. 13.2cm capped.

Rotring 600 pens have a special place in the hearts of anyone who loves modern design. Rugged steel beauties, these pens are all about hard work. Our preowned pen looks almost brand new with very little wear. The tail-click action works well. This one comes with a working black ballpoint refill. Another nice thing about these pens is that they take very easy-to-find Parker-style refills. No obscure German refills for this pen. 13.8cm

Bullet-shaped Eversharp Skyline pens were the darling of many writers of the 1940s. They looked like they were going 100 mph when just sitting on your desk. This burgundy model is a standard size that was well loved. It has a little brassing on the clip and lever, plus wear marks on the cap and barrel. No cracks. No deep scratches. We restored this vintage pen with a new ink sack and breather tube. Click the headline for close-ups. You will write a very smooth line for an extra-fine 14k gold nib. 13.1cm capped.

We love it when modern pencils go for a vintage look. To celebrate the company's 100th anniversary, the Montblanc 100 Anniversary pencils were designed to look like old-fashioned "safety" pens that were similar to the earliest Mont Blanc pens. This ballpoint pen saw little use and has minimal wear. Numbered 04053 of 10000, our preowned pencil remains in excellent working order. We believe this pencil to use .7mm leads. It has some spares in the tail along with a barely used, still-fresh eraser. 12.8cm.
