Pelikan 500N Seagreen

This is one of the rarest Pelikan 1950ies colors to be found. The dark green celluloid sleeves is as rare at the famous light tortoise colors. This Pelikan 500N is fully working, with no brassing on the cap tube, just a little brassing of the clip. One ding to be mentioned, as pointed out in the picture.

A solid Gold Osmia set

Pen and pencil in near mint condition

Up for show is a rare and perfectly kept Osmia set. Gold overlay was German Goldsmith´s work, made in the area of Pforzheim. Interestingly, there are also Montblanc pens of the 50ies, 144 and 142 pens, with exactly the same overlay.

An Aurora Deskset

Mint Condition, never used

Just found this marvel in Rom on the market,

has obviously never been used. only minimal signs of discoloration on the hard rubber parts. Even  the metal base of the pen holders are marked AURORA, clearly showing, that every part of the set has been made inside Aurora.

 

Tibaldi Firenze PERFECTA

A very rare version of a safetyfiller pen.

Here is a very rare version of a safety filler pen made by Tibaldi. It takes some time to understand how this pen works.

Unscrewing the cap, the nib snaps out - being pushed out by a spring.

Screwing back the cap, there is a silver pin inside the cap, that pushes back the nib against the force of the spring.

Now, with the cap in hands and the nib out - this is a safetyfiller pen, how to get the nib back to fill the barrel by means of an eyedropper?

The solution is a tiny clamp, like a collet of a drill,  at the barrel end. - The thin hard rubber rod inside the pen rests inside this collet.

Now, with the cap screwed onto the barrel, and the rod pushed back you have to screw out the small turning knob - this pulls back the collet till it tightly holds the rod.

Now you can unscrew the cap with the nib remaining inside. The pen is ready to be filled.
