All Pens and Ephemera

NEW OLD STOCK! The Sun King of France is honored by Montblanc with this fabulous Montblanc Patron of the Arts Louis XIV fountain pen. Still sealed in its original plastic, our golden pen comes complete with all of its boxes. An absolute must for Montblanc collectors and Francophiles. Responsible for the art and elegance of the French enlightenment, King Louis XIV was behind the development of Versailles and the palatial Opera Garnier in Paris. He also waged wars to expand France's borders and was known for his lovers. The carefully engraved Montblanc pen is a fitting tribute to the Sun King's cultural renaissance in France.

Few pens look as truly regal as the Montblanc Prince Regent limited edition pen. The golden filigree over a large blue cap and barrel is just so stately and refined. A true preowned luxury pen. However, unlike most preowned luxury pens, this pen is New Old Stock and still sealed in its original protective bag! Obviously, it comes with all of its original boxes and papers. Oddly enough, the wooden box is missing one of its four felt pads at the corners. The enclosed booklet has a tiny dog ear at the tippy-top of a corner. Nevertheless, this pen is completely original and unused! A must for any serious Montblanc collector.

Abraham Lincoln is arguably the United States of America's greatest president. He preserved the union of the states while putting an end to slavery. His post-Civil War vision of America was "With malice toward none and with charity for all." Sadly, the 16th president was assassinated before he could have seen the vision enacted. Krone pays tribute to the man with the Krone Abraham Lincoln fountain pen. This new old stock pen has never been used. It is a lovely ripple pattern on orange hard rubber. On the cap is an amethyst that conceals a piece of actual DNA from Abraham Lincoln. The DNA is recreated from a strand of Lincoln's hair that had been preserved. Yes, in theory, this pen can help you create a Jurassic Park...only with Abraham Lincolns instead of dinosaurs. Click the headline for close-ups. Complete with original boxes and papers.

Cartier is synonymous with exquisite taste and style in everything from jewelry to writing instruments. Our preowned pen is a silver-plated Cartier 150, celebrating the man and the company's grand history in style. Even better, yet, is the fact it is New Old Stock, still sealed in its original box. Click the headline for multiple views of the box. It is like a time machine dating back to 1997. This is the fountain pen version of the pen, and it comes with a medium-point nib. The only question is, will you preserve this beauty in sealed splendor for future generations or ink it up and go wild?

Simultaneously luxurious while also designed for intense daily use. The Sheaffer PFM-IV was the last great pen released while the Sheaffer family still owned the company. Ironically, it wasn't the hit then that it is today. Nevertheless, this vintage pen remains a masterpiece in form and function. Our pen has been fully restored and is ready for more action. Yes, it shows a little light wear and light scratching, but there are no dents or cracks. It is a pretty handsome pen, if we do say so ourselves. You might really love its 14k gold inlaid nib that writes a smooth fine line. 13.6cm capped.

New Old Stock! Still sealed in its original box is a limited edition Louis Cartier 150 Plaque Argent ballpoint pen. Numbered 1511 of 1847, this pen was released in 1997 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Cartier. It is kind of amazing to think this is a bit of a time capsule sealed 26 years ago. You can have the joy of being the first person to write with it...or save it for a whole new generation. The silvery wonder is all yours to decide. Click the headline for photos of the sealed box.

Sheaffer PFM V pencils were the pinnacle of the line. One of the rarest colors of PFMs is gray. Our vintage pencil has the bonus of being ALMOST New Old Stock. Click the headline photo to see where we turn over the pencil to reveal its pricing sticker! Maybe NOT QUITE NOS, the eraser seems to have been completely worn down. Nevertheless the pencil shows little more than shop wear and works great. 13cm.

Black and gold adds classic elegance to the luxury pencils of Pelikan. This Pelikan Souverän D200 is a great clicker pencil. Just like a Parker Jotter ballpoint, this pencil advances .5mm lead with a click of the tail plunger. This pre-owned pencil looks sharp with only minimal, if any, wear. Made in West Germany, the imprint belies its age. The top of the clicker is golden with a simplistic mama pelican and single chick that is part of the line of the nest. The eraser under the clicker has hardened. 13.5cm.
