Other rare pens

I show here rare or interesting pens i have seen on internet or penshows.
These pens don't belong to me unfortunately.
Thank you to the collectors who gave me the authorization to show their pens.

Waterman PATRICIAN Jade Green

The color of this pen is absolutely exceptional as it is usually very discolored. It was sold on an auction site for a very high price ... unfortunately too expensive for me ...

Waterman 442 1/2 v coquille d'oeuf

This is a rare little safety pen. It is made of hard rubber with a sterling silver overlay and a nice lacquer work with "coquille d'oeuf" design. This one was sold on an auction site in France.

Parker Snake

This is a quite rare fountain pen. Some collectors consider it as the holy grail. There are two snakes on this overlay, one on the cap and one barrel. This pen is gold plated but it also exists in sterling silver. Parker edited another Snake in limited edition recently, in sterling silver, cardridge filler. Other brands used the snake on their overlay. I have heard that the A A Waterman version is maybe the most beautiful one, but i never saw it.

Pelikan 100 collection

This beautiful collection was for sale in a pen show in Paris. It includes the toledo, coral, lapis blue, jade green ...

Parker

This pen was sold on an american auction site in 2008. It is a repousse design with flowers. Very rare.

Thank you to Sheila for the picture.

This is a beautiful and quite rare Sterling middle joint with a nice sterling silver filigree.

Leboeuf - cocobolo faceted

Leboeuf is an american brand, famous for the material used for their pens. Always very special colors, usually not seen in other brands. The color of this pen is called "cocobolo". What makes the rarity of this pen is the faceted design of the barrel and cap.
Thanks to Rita L for picture and use agreement

Triad

This is a rare set of Triad. This pen is rare and most of the time it is found in bad shape. This is due to the mechanism of the cap. To remove the cap you have to turn the button which is at the extremity of the barrel. People who don't know turn the cap to open and brake the mechanism !
This is a lever filler. Very specific design with three facets.
Thanks to Rita L for picture and use agreement

Waterman 422

This is a rare Waterman 422 taper cap.
Certainly the first or one of the firs filigree made by Waterman.
Sterling silver overlay as indicated by the "4" at the begining of the number.
Rare nib with star engraved

Carey filigree

Carey is an american (NY) brand famous for the beautiful overlays realised at the end of the 19th century, begining of the 20th. High quality.

Waterman 14k Solid Gold

This is a very rare Waterman eyedropper, straight cap, in 14k sold gold.
This pen has a fantastic overlay with repousse flowers.

Parker "61" Long Short Prototype

Another pen seen at the L.A. Pen Show in 2009.
This pen is a Parker prototype, similar to the Murex of Pilot.
The pen is very short when closed but the cap comes on the back and makes a long pen.
Look the very special clip and "61" logo.
