Help With Identifying And Evaluation Of Caran D'ache Pens

March 10, 2014

Hello everybody,

I need your expert help with identifying a few pens. A few years back I have received some pens made by Caran d'Ache as payment. Since I lack the knowledge to identify them on the internet and find their value, I hope someone here might be able to help. I am attaching a few pictures and am thankful for any help I can get.

Thanks,

David

Look for models Ecridor, Varius, Geneve, Dunas.

Not sure what all of them are but:

In the first batch of photos; pics 5-8 look like Leman pens.

In the second batch of photos;

Pic 1 = Ecridor Chevron finish

Pic 2 = Ecridor Retro finish

Pic 4 = Rosewood Varius

Pic 5 = Somekind of Ecridor Special (millennium I'm guessing!)

Not sure what the others are but could be Dunas in various finishes.

Hope that helps.

Interesting salary. I won't ask what you do for a living... Next time you are paid in pens, at least you should be sure to get fountain pens; they are a lot more fun than those roller balls.

Thank you for your prompt response.

When looking on the internet - I was unable to find the exact models.

What I would like to know is whether the price of a previous model is identical to the one that replaced it?

No. And even if the pens you have are new and never used, they are worth at best about 50% of MSRP.
