AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000003945
The Cartier Cougar Must de Cartier fountain pen presented in this lot is in excellent overall condition, showing a very well-kept appearance fully consistent with a piece of its category and era.
The body and cap in black resin with a guilloche pattern are preserved with very good shine and definition in the vertical striations, with no material losses or deformations. The surface shows only very light signs of superficial use, practically imperceptible to the naked eye and typical of careful handling over time. The overall aesthetic remains elegant and highly appealing.
The gold-plated elements — clip, rings and finishes — feature a bright and uniform finish, with excellent visual presence. No significant wear is observed on the plating and the pieces retain their structural and aesthetic integrity.
The 18-karat solid gold nib (750), engraved with the Cartier emblem, is in very good condition, correctly aligned and preserving a clean tipping. The feed retains its fins in perfect structural condition, ensuring proper ink flow regulation.
The writing system has been checked and tested for proper operation, delivering the piece fully functional and ready to write, as is customary for pieces prepared by Collecting Legacy.
Also included is its original Cartier red case, which shows a good general condition with slight normal signs of storage.
Taken together, this is a very well-preserved fountain pen, elegant and perfectly functional, ideal for both daily use and collection.
Conservation recommendations
To preserve the pen in optimal condition, it is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks or those with particles. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to clean it with lukewarm water, dry it properly before storing, and keep it in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures. It is also recommended to operate the filling system gently to keep the mechanism in perfect condition over time.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
