Pre-Owned Pens

OBB, yeah, you know me! For all those writers who are naughty by nature, this pre-owned pen is for you. Our Pelikan Souverän M800 fountain pen has a hard-to-find double broad oblique nib made of 18k gold. Designed more for right-handed people, we apologize to the lefties that we haven't an equivalent nib for them. If you aren't used to obliques, this is a smooth nib, but it might take you a bit to find and master the sweet spot. The piston moves smoothly, and this pen holds a ton of ink. Made in West Germany, you know this one was made in the 1980s. The top logo sports a black mama pelican and two chicks on a golden background. Light wear from use but nothing too distracting. 14cm capped.

A top advisor to Roman emperor Augustus, Gaius Maecenas is considered the first known patron of the arts in history. He worked tirelessly to promote the development of arts and culture in ancient Rome. Montblanc found him a fitting candidate for its 20th anniversary pen of the Montblanc Patron of the Arts line. This special edition pen from 2012 has never been opened, and you can still see the shrink wrap on the fine presentation case. They wouldn't fit in a single photo, but this pristine collection comes with ALL of its original boxes and papers. One of only 4,810 pens, this fountain pen comes with a medium-point nib. Not only collectible but a possible investment piece.

Pelikan pens with stub/italic nibs are difficult to find. However, this Pelikan M100 features a great 1.0mm nib. The preowned pen is in great working order with only some light wear. The only real flaw is that most of the gold-plating has come off the steel nib. On the plus side, the piston filler works very smoothly. You will write a very smooth line with great variation. The logo on the cap topper is black with a golden imprint of a mama pelican with two chicks in their nest. It's a short slender pen. 12.1cm capped.

We include a free refill with the pen. Our preowned pen has light wear from use but no significant blemishes.

Green marble with a golden trim makes for a handsome Waterman Hemisphere rollerball pen. There's only light wear on the pen, and the cap still has a really good, tight click closure.

Feminine lines add an uncommon grace and style to the Parker Urban rollerball pen. The curves fall gently into your hand as you write. The matte blue and silvery colors offer a nice appearance. This pen is fairly new with only a little wear from use. It takes Parker rollerball refills, unsurprisingly. 13.9cm capped.

Matte black with golden trim makes for a handsome pen set at home or work. The fountain pen might be a Cross Century II while the ballpoint is a Cross Century.

The ballpoint comes with a new blue Cross refill.
