I’m not an expert collector but like old fountain pens very much. Not just Pelikans but also really old Montblancs, Soenneckens, Watermans, Parkers, etc.
There is something fascinating about the really old ones that are a bit more difficult to find and even better if it’s just that occasional lucky strike.
For me the four chick logo on old Pelikan fountain pens is a detail that makes the pen more interesting.
I have managed to find three pens of different 100/100N variations. I’ve also found a cap with the four chick logo and hope to find the correct pen for it in the future.
What is your favourite Pelikan hunt?

Bought this seemingly unopened package of Pelikan ink on an auction for a while ago.
How old is it? How does the bottle inside look like?
I don’t want to open it since I think part of its value lies in its actual state.

One of my favourite everyday writers. Grey marbled with a bouncy CN steel nib.
I like the design of the old Pelikan stands of the era.
I’ve noticed that the 100N fits perfectly in the stand both with turning knob down or cap down.
Was this on purpose?
Furthermore the stand seems to work as a reservoir and I suspect this is to catch any ink that leaks from a faulty pen. I guess this was meant to be too?

Found this mechanical pencil on an auction together with some fountain pens.
The model seems to be KOH I NOOR Automatic 5000.
Anyone with more information about this pen?

Sold another similar one for about a year ago and regretted it ever since. Came across this one that looked a bit rough on the pictures from the auction site but it came out beautiful with some patina which I prefer rather to over restored pens.
It has a beautiful amber ink window and of course the old Pelikan logo.

Found this pen among others bidding on an auction.
Made a quick search and I think it is a Pelikan 300.
No markings besides Günther Wagner on barrel close to the piston knob. No imprint om top of the cap. Correct size and black/clear stripes on barrel.

A Pelikan 140 beside for size reference.

Is it a 300?
