Cartier - Cougar - Fountain pen

A0000003945

The Cartier Cougar Must de Cartier fountain pen presented in this lot is in excellent overall condition, showing a very well cared-for appearance fully in line with a piece of its category and era.

The body and cap in black resin with a godron pattern are preserved with very good shine and definition in the vertical grooves, with no material loss 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 very attractive.

The gold-plated elements — clip, rings and finishes — have a bright, uniform finish, with excellent visual presence. No significant wear is apparent on the plating, and the pieces retain their structural and aesthetic integrity.

The nib, solid 18-karat gold (750), engraved with the Cartier emblem, is in very good condition, correctly aligned and maintaining a clean tip. The feeder preserves its fins in perfect structural condition, guaranteeing proper ink flow regulation.

The writing system has been reviewed and tested for proper operation, delivering a fully operational piece ready to write, as is customary for pieces prepared by Collecting Legacy.

Also included is its original Cartier red case, which shows a good overall condition with slight signs of normal storage.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved fountain pen, elegant and perfectly functional, ideal for daily use as well as for collection.

Conservation recommendations

To keep the pen in optimal condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks or those with particulates. 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. Also, operate the loading system gently to maintain the mechanism in perfect condition over time.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

¡Buena subasta!
