Pre-Owned Pens

Montblanc LeGrand "Document Markers" are somewhat hard to find, but ones in the discontinued "Bordeaux" color are even more difficult to find. Aside from a little light wear from use, our preowned luxury writing instrument looks pretty amazing. This one comes with a working highlighter refill. Guaranteed authentic, this one was made after the invention of serial numbers on the pocket clip band but before "Pix" was written under the cap band. We love these slightly larger sized LeGrands that don't yet cross over into oversized territory. 14.5cm capped.

At one point in yesteryear, there was no transnational travel more glamorous than the train route known as the Orient Express. Royalty and celebrity hobnobbed on its cars from Paris to Istanbul over an approximately 3-day run. It was considered "The train of kings and the king of trains." Our S.T. Dupont Orient Express pays tribute to that great locomotive. In like-new condition, we think this pen has only been dipped once or twice. Not a mark appears to have blemished the glittering blue cap and barrel. You'll write a very smooth fine line with its rhodium-plated 18k gold nib. Comes complete with its original boxes and most of its papers. (Not sure if it had a large square booklet or not.) Click the headline for close-ups. 15.2cm capped.

Earlier this year Pelikan released an M1000 Renaissance based on this original limited edition Pelikan M800 Renaissance. We love the original better, as it fits the hand more easily than the bulky oversized 1000s. Our pre-owned pen is in excellent condition with minimal wear from use. The piston filler operates smoothly. You will write a fine line with its two-tone 18k gold nib. There is a little feedback. Included with the pen are its original box and travel pouch. The inner box shows a little wear. The outer white box not pictured has some ink stains. The frosted gold logo sports a mama pelican with one chick.

What are the most desirable features on a Montblanc 149 fountain pen that connoisseurs love most? 14k gold nibs and a split ebonite feed! That is exactly what our preowned luxury pen sports. The one feature it doesn't have is the brass piston fitting under the blind cap. Our pen was made during that brief window after German unification where the clip band had the word Germany but no serial number. In excellent working order, the piston fills the pen nicely. You will write an extra-fine line with its two-tone 14k gold nib. There's a little feed back from its firmness. No cracks. No brassing. Light wear from use.

Composer, conductor and pianist Johannes Brahms was one of the great romantics of classical music. This renowned German artist gets his due in this limited edition pen by Montblanc. Part of Montblanc's Donation Pen series, the Montblanc Brahms comes as a complete box set that includes a tuning fork and booklet. Our preowned luxury pen looks like new, and likely was only written with once given the minimal ink on its extra-fine, rhodium-plated 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. Guaranteed authentic.

Looking like it just danced out of the souvenir shop in Emerald City from "The Wizard of Oz" is this stunning Technicolor green Bexley Gemstone fountain pen. At least we think the model name is "Gemstone;" we aren't certain. Borrowing a bit from the Waterman 100-Year Pen in design, it is an absolute knock-out. It shows some light wear from past use, but it is generally pretty amazing. Better yet, you'll write a buttery smooth medium line with its two-tone 14k gold nib. Included is a standard international converter. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.9cm capped.

Bexley is one of those great brands for pen fans by pen fans. It got its start when several vintage pen enthusiasts thought, "Hey, why don't we start our own pen company making pens we would love to write with and find on the market!" And so we present this Bexley Imperial in white with a black swirl. Its heart and soul is a buttery smooth two-tone steel nib that writes an amazing medium line...even if the nib is marked "B" for broad. Minimal wear can be found on this beauty. Includes a standard international converter. 15.2cm capped.

Made in America, the Bexley Imperial is a bold, oversized fountain pen. We like the brown swirl weaving through the pearlescent blue acrylic. Our preowned luxury pen is in excellent condition with minimal wear. You fill it with a standard international cartridge or converter. Our pen includes the converter. You will write a smooth, wet broad line with its two-tone steel nib. In spite of an "M" marked on the nib for medium, we feel confident in calling it a broad line. The nib sings a little as you write. 15.2cm capped.
