The latest addition to my slowly growing flock was indeed a Pelikan, but not a fountain pen. I found this vintage Pelikan Graphos pen stand online. After a short negotiation with the seller and subsequent payment it was on its way to its new home. It joins the already existing Günther Wagner/Pelikan pen stands from between the 1930s to 1950s which now number five. The design is a bit different from the others: the trumpet-shaped part that holds the pen does not have the four internal lengthwise ribs, but the opening is a bit smaller instead. You can absolutely use it with Pelikan fountain pens of that era (and the modern ones too up to M400 size) though. This brings me one step closer to acquiring all of the variants. I am currently missing two, a gold-black version (silver-black is shown in the picture above) and red (to go with the 101N/101Nf). Then there are the ones with intact retail packaging, and the gift set box that a stand was included with… but I do not put much hope in acquiring those, well, not anytime soon, at least… 😅 So, the hunt continues Might have to do a “state of the collection” post at some time which would be a good opportunity to go into more detail on each.
