MB WE Proust set. As for a single pen, the Stipula Laurus.

 

Neither get too much use because they are too heavy. They just look pretty :headsmack:

 

Pelikans originals of their time are a win-win combination though.

Pelikan Lighthouse of Alexandria

 

The list price for this one was higher at the time, but I didn't pay as much for my Stipula Bernini:

 

I like the Lighthouse, though the other one may be a bit much for me...maybe.

 

Not to be crass, but since it's on-topic, how much do these cost?

In one of the threads, I said I paid three grand for the pen (before tax), which was about 20% off list at the time. Since then, the Dollar vs. Euro hasn't been doing so well, so the current list is around $3900.

My Visconti Four Seasons.

 

 

That is an incredible looking pen! and I bet the other three sides are just as fancy.

Thanks, Kurt! Yes, it is GORGEOUS :wub:

Frits B' My Namiki LE 2002 "Owl":

Australians will recognize it: Ninox scutulata, the Brown Hawk Owl, a close relative to the Barking Owl and Boobook.

Beautiful pen Fritz! are the eyes of the owl iridescent? or is that appearance from the photo?

 

Would also enjoy seeing the 'other seasons'.. have never seen that pen before!

 

Will take some photos when the I have some spare time of the four facets.

 

Regards,

Soki

The Cross Apogee that my parents gave for my birthday.

 

Yes, I am poor.

 

Don't say that, this pen given to you by your beloved one is of the highest value :rolleyes:

Mine is the Charlie Chaplin made by Montblanc.

 

I made a post about it here:

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...charlie+chaplin

 

 

I just found the right case for it too, a crocodile case long out of production but which I saw new in a shop in Houston. I actually bought two, one a double case and one for a single pen. An update and quasi-review of the pen is coming soon, maybe this week.

OMG,I cant wait to read this review and if I my ask LOTS of pictures please of the pen and the box :thumbup:

My most valuable pen is probably the Jet Black Patrician, which I bought years ago for $25. I never use it, don't know why.

The pen I paid the most for (so far) is the Pelikan M450, which is still on it's way to me.

$25? Is that a sumgai score perhaps? :D

Legacy Palladium, Black Lacquer, touchdown filler, left oblique nib. Still on Todd's website here: http://isellpens.com/usedpens.html

 

Outside of that, most of my pens are vintage, originally under $50 or so, but have been sending them out for restoration. I'd like to have a Parker Maxima, and/or an M800, but those will wait until the Miami Pen Show in July...then my most expensive pen answer will probably change.

Much Love--Virginia

My most expensive pen is my Pelikan M650.

Paid just less than #200 for it.

So far my pens have not exceed $200 each yet.

Hmmm . . . depends on what you mean by expensive.

The most expensive pen I own is the one that hasn't arrived yet -- a Dollar 717i, for which I forwarded the princely sum of US$15. That's a couple bucks more than I paid for the Yafa that's my current writer, and just about the limit of my budget at present.

Does not always write loving messages.

Does not always foot up columns correctly.

Does not always sign big checks.

For me, it's the Binder/Bexley/Broadwell Pharoah.

For The Redhead (Janet) it would be her 1930's Pelikan 100N tortoise barrel with red cap.

Both are phenomenal, for different reasons which actually have nothing to do with price.
