1928 Vintage pen, nearly NOS
Permalink Closed




Watched the Black Jack dealer bust!!!!! Heart attack alley..

First Class Fountain Pen on package (a no-name*) Can carry it in every direction.
1928 Art Deco Piston filler, with original good condition package, and instructions from 1928.
Fine Wave Guilloche and Noble Chrome nib, with a mountain goat.Steinbock probably Peter Bock.medium.

E- 58,95 or @ $88.45.
Well, Im not use to thinking in dollars any more so 58 sounds a lot better than 88.

I got a real nice wife, standing over my shoulder saying.Go For It!!!!.
Otherwise some one who didnt deserve it as much as me would have it.

Now I have to look up how to take care of hard rubber.


*There were many small family companies, who got delivery of the body from the major factories. Perhaps parts too, or from some other factory.

Sure looks pretty..and well Thats my Easter Present!


Been a busy 12 days on Ebay. Ive already forgotten I got a Cheap Flighter Parker and a Diplomat two weeks ago.
Ten days ago I got my first P-51. A couple of days later a Mercedes pen, and an Artus (pre-Lamy-Lamy).
Yesterday, a beautiful Wearever Clipper piston filler with gold nib. Go look at the pictures in Third Tiers last fling..

Today this 1928 pen.
Tomorrow, two green piston filler Reform pens, but cheapthey will not go for more than $5, in that the man has had them on for the last month or six weeks and lots of them. I will them because I needed something to put green ink in.Actually I dont care if over bidbut doubt itat $5.00.
Then its over for the year.

And to think I was sane, just five months ago.
Im a fountain pen junky.who gave up legal age single malt for this???

Prettier in person than in the picture....writes very well, needs piston work from a pro.....don't know where he's got 1928 from, clear window, might be mid thirties. Peter Bock nib, Bock's very old company.

Satisfied in I never thought I'd own a Fine Wave Guilloche, much less two, with one still in the mail.

So you're telling me there is a German Piston filler that pre-dates the Pelikan 100!?! Wow, I didn't know that... Can you confirm the mechanism is more or less similar to the one patended by Mr Kovacs in 1925 and now world-famous in every Souveran Pelikan? 
It would be interesting to disassemble the pen to find out how is made internally.
Before Pelikan the patent was in the hands of the Croatian firm Penkala but I think no specimen of that company is known.


Thank you!
A.

Having looked at it, and I think the advertisement said 1928...is wrong...I think it is mid thirties.
I don't know enough about the pistons to date it that way my self.


It had no cap ring like the 1929-31 Pelikan 100, the shape of the pen is much like a 29-32-38 Pelikan 100.
I think it's mid thirties because of the way the window looks. I'm not sure when the window came in on the Pelikan, but it's about a near a copy of the 29-31 Pelikan 100 as you can get, including the shape of the clip. The clip is fancy as is the pen.

I had asked and this seller claimed to have great expertnesses in having a large collection.

Since then I have one of Lambrou's books...
It's a still very pretty pen...


I don't know now how I got part of the piston out of the pen...but it's not the same, as your break down. I obviously put the thread screw back in, and it won't come back out.

I'm not going fiddle with it...and in ignorance break it badly.

It is a 4 cm rubber sleeve threaded inside, with a rubber gasket 6mm.
And there is no collar, for the feed. Just a friction feed.
