Vintage Pelikan 100 fountain pen, all black body
14 karat Oblique Broad (OB) nib,
translucent brown ink window
- No Reserve -
Up for auction is a wonderful and scarce Pelikan 100 fountain pen with all black body (binde). It has a 14 karat gold Oblique Broad nib, nice translucent brown ink window (see photos) and black hard rubber cap top and filling knob. The cap has no air holes, and features two thin gold cap bands. The cap has Pelikan Patent around the circumference and the cap top has the logo of the Pelikan feeding two chicks. The pen fills and writes wonderfully. There is no brassing on the clip or cap rings and there are no cracks or hairlines in the cap but it does post a bit loosely. The pen measures 4 5/8 inches capped and 6 1/4 inches posted and about a 1/2 inch in diameter. These all black Pelikan 100s are scarce and you now have a chance to own one of the more rare variants of the Pelikan 100. Check out all the photos and you can also supersize them to get even more detail. This is a really nice pen in excellent condition.
This
pen is from my personal collection and was purchased several years ago from a Pelikan collector at the Los Angeles pen show. I've been an avid collector of Pelikan pens for many years and I'm sure you'll enjoy this fine pen. If you have any questions, feel
free to contact me. I've tried to describe the pen as best I could, and if anyone knows more about them than I or if some of my information is incorrect, please let me know.
Bidding
If you have less
than 5 total feedbacks, please e-mail me before bidding. If you have a high
number of negative feedbacks, I reserve the right to possibly cancel
your bid. If you have any questions, please e-mail me through the eBay
message system and I will respond as soon as possible.
International bidders must e-mail me first before bidding. I reserve the right to not accept an international bid. No sales to Africa, Indonesia, Malaysia, or Mexico.
Domestic Shipping
I will put the item in the mail to you within 5 business days of the auction ending. I travel frequently for my job and so it may take me a few days to get it in the mail if I'm out of town when the auction ends. Shipping is a $12.95 for USPS Flat Rate Priority Mail within the Continental United States and it should reach most places within 3 business days. I include delivery confirmation (at my expense) to protect us both. Insurance is extra and is required (it protects both buyer and seller).
International Shipping
International shipping will, of course, be more expensive and there are also the issues of taxes, duties or other import fees for International buyers that should be taken into consideration. International shipping can range anywhere from $35 up to $90 or even more depending on the country as well as the final auction selling price. The US Postal Service has limits on the amount of insurance available on some services and for high dollar auctions, this may require a more expensive method of shipping. Some countries prohibit high value merchandise being imported without having an Import/Export license (which I don't have). FedEx, DHL and UPS International shipping is also available for International bidders but they usually cost over $110, but, they also have limits on the amount of insurance available. Insurance costs extra and is required for International bidders. The best thing to do is contact me before you bid for a shipping quote.
Please note - I will not put a lower dollar amount on the Customs form than what the pen sells for, nor will I mark it as a Gift. Please don't even ask.
Once the item has been mailed, it is outside of my control and therefore I can't be responsible for what may happen to the item during shipment.
Have fun bidding!
