Family Photos Of Your Flock - Please Add Yours!

Hello,

Please don’t mind my reply possibly being slightly off- topic; thanks for selflessly sharing info and pics on your method of rebuilding a shattered thread housing on a very old and noble P100. Good that its brass ring had been preserved. I’ll try the method out on the next available occasion. Nice pre-1933 pen! Congratulations on your efforts of restoring it to a state in which it can proudly join your flock. I’m sure it was worth it.

Would you please be so kind to post a picture of your both 100 pens, now in full splendor, so the nibs can also be clearly seen?

 

Thanks.

Hello, stoen

 

I posted the photos of 100s. Sorry for poor image quality.

 

Left; ca.1931. The nib, made by Montblanc, inscribed with Pelikan 14 karat B.

 

Right; ca.1935. Curved grip section. In-house nib inscribed with Pelikan 585 14 karat (maybe Kugel Nib).

 

I'd be happy if they are of any help.

Here is the “family picture” of a very old flock: 

• on the right side is the “N wing”
• on the left side is the “regular” wing

 

Years are L to R: 1937, 1931, 1939, 1937

I visited your nib thread. Very interesting information😄

 

I loved brown bindes of your flock so much😄

I'll post my 100Ns some time or other.

By Golly Molly, that's a beautiful flock! I'm a tad jealous.

Strike that, I'm positively green with envy!

My little flock (one for each day of the week?):

Those first 11 pens from the right are really gorgeous! 

[tacitus]

I also renewed my flock of 100s.

They are in chronological order from left to right (1929-1944).

 

How I wish I could take beautiful photos like christof!

 

 

I will comment on each pen point by point within days. 

 

I believe flocks in this thread are answers to "Why Pelikan?" thread.

About a month ago, I bought a beautiful 400 in tortoise brown from a seller on a Dutch secondhand site. After a bit of a delivery nightmare (in all my enthusiasm, I had forgotten to ask the seller to send the package with track & trace and it took a week for the mailman to find my home), the pen and its pencil brethren arrived in the state he had described: mint.  When I caught another listing from the same man a week later, for a beautiful green marbled 100 and a grey marbled 100N, I jumped at the occasion without a moment's hesitation. They looked in really lovely condition too and the price was more than democratic. I jokingly asked the seller "if he had any other Pelikans lying around", maybe I could save him a trip or two to the post office. 

As it turned out, the seller was this really sweet, very eloquent 85-year old man who was selling off his entire collection because his own children had no interest in fountain pens whatsoever. The Pelikans, his darlings, were the last to go. The bulk of them was going to a friend, a fellow pen collector, but he was willing to give me a peek at all the doubles he had, to see if there was anything interesting among them.

Oh, was there ever.

And so, my dear fellow Pelikans aficionados, these little beauties were delivered to me today. 

 

 

It's Christmas, but in March!

You have got nice cases too, specially the LS

Thanks Christof!  It's gorgeous but it does look like it's had better days, falling apart at the seams a bit. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inside, there's a little horse drawing that feels soft to the touch, like felt. Not sure if this was added later or if it's original.

"Thrilled", my darling mizgeorge, is something I am when my coffee shop barista makes me a macchiato that is just right. 

This is ... something else. I think my heart is about the burst. Not bad eh, for a one day catch?

This is definitely not original...  but cute.

I had no idea. And yes, I will! I may get it restored, but I'd need to find someone experienced with old leather and zippers. 

The attention to detail on the other two cases, one of which looks like it's been in storage since its conception, is quite impressive.

You gotta love the little zipper in the shape of a pelican bill:

 

 

This one is very pretty too:
