All Pens and Ephemera

For reasons unknown to us, Lamy never made its famous left-handed steel nibs very available to American sellers of the brand. During a change in distributorship, we discovered a trove of 10 of these hard-to-find nibs that are straight from the factory. These are never used, and we are only selling them individually on a first come first serve basis. These fit all Lamy Safari & Lamy AL-Star fountain pens. No returns. Once they are gone, they are gone until we can sweet talk Lamy into more, which might never happen. If you choose to buy both a Lamy pen and this nib, you will have to pay for both the pen and nib. No switch-outs as we do for more standard nibs at pen shows. However, we will change the nibs for you at no extra cost for the labor.

"When Madame Pompadour was on the ballroom floor, said all the gentleman obviously, 'The lady has a well developed...personality.'" More than the bawdy lyrics sung by Dorothy Lamour in the Hope & Crosby "Road to Utopia," the real Marquise de Pompadour was the extremely clever mistress and confidant of France's King Louis XV. Her mastery of court intrigue and support of the arts remains unparalleled. In 2001 the world's top luxury brand paid homage to her with the Mont Blanc Patron of the Arts Marquise de Pompadour limited edition pens. Exquisitely designed, Mont Blanc paired with the porcelain artists at Meissen to create this pen. Click the headline for close-ups. Guaranteed authentic, our's comes complete with papers and boxes--there is a chip on the back of the wooden box. Amazingly, it was actually used. We have cleaned and flushed the pen, which works great, but there is light surface wear on the barrel with some lightly rubbed in wear spots on the piston blind cap.
