Hi all, It's time again for the Bonhams Fine Writing Instruments sale, to be held in San Francisco on December 15th. I think this is our best pen sale yet! There are 312 lots, with lots of great Montblanc, Namiki, Pelikan and other fine pens. The pens are overall in excellent condition, and estimates are very attractive relative to retail values. Of special interest are: * Many Special Limited Montblancs, including these models: Alfred Hitchcock, Axis Mundi, Frida Kahlo, Hundertwasser, Gutenberg, Gandhi, L'Aubrac, Sleleton 333, Musee du Louvre, White House, George Washington, Mozart 250, Statue of Liberty, five different versions of the Max Reinhardt, and others. * A vast collection of modern limited and rare vintage Dunhill-Namiki pens and pencils, including pre-Dunhill pens from the 1920s and a set of four bridge pencils in their original decorative box, as well as Namiki Thunder God Vs. Wind God, Setsugekka, Emperor Goldfish, Emperor Shishi Komainu 88th Anniversary, and many other examples. * The Seewoseter Collection of Fine Pelikans, consigned by Mr. Eckhard Seewoseter, a retired Pelikan executive who owned almost every significant pen made by Pelikan from the mid-1970s to 2005. * Several wonderful vintage pens, including a Parker Lucky Curve No. 38 "Snake", a Parker No. 60 Awanyu "Aztec" Gold-Filled fountain pen in its original box, and a lovely Watermans No. 514 Gold-Filled Chased Overlay pen in pristine condition. The catalogue is at the printer and ships soon.
