Vintage Film Footage Of An 100N "in The Wild"

[Jason Oliver]

Was watching this film footage taken in Berlin a few months after WWII ended and think I saw a Pelikan 100N briefly at the 3:02 mark... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5i9k7s9X_A

Fascinating. Good catch on the pen...I think you're right.

Aside from Pelikan, I was amused by the footage just after the 1:30 mark where one woman sticks her tongue out at the camera (it is brief) then thumbs her nose.

He reminds me of some famous actor... A bit of Peter Cushing, perhaps.

Last flea market here in Heidelberg a couple of weeks ago, Thomas (Kaweco on the com) told me a colleague found one in very good condition, for E3.00.

 

Having enough pens didn't even look.

 

I got mine a NOS, a few years before, for E20. Had I turned left instead of right, at the indoor flea market from my table, at the very next table; I'd gotten it for E5.00, but in the meanwhile someone very nice told her it was worth a lot of money. It took me a while to bargain down from E40.

I agree! Slick the hair back, get him set up with the costuming department, and this guy could be Grand Moff Tarkin from the Star Wars movies, as played by Peter Cushing.

I thought the only way to obtain that much mid-facial atrophy was with anti-retroviral drugs.

Lack of food for a few years, due to war rationing will do that too.
