Description from the seller

A0000006837

Article: PELIKAN 100 vintage fountain pen, cap and end pieces in black ebonite with an amber/brown marbled celluloid window that serves as ink window, Pelikan nib clip in pelican beak shape, and double gold rings, piston-filler and gold nib.
Reference / Edition: Model 100 (ridged nib collar, before the change to smooth nib collar).
Length: 11.8 cm.
Diameter: 1.1 cm.
Nib: F.
Period: 1930s.
Materials: Black ebonite on cap, section and nib collar; translucent amber-brown marbled celluloid on the barrel; clip and rings gold-plated; 14-carat gold nib (585).
Condition: Good conservation state for its age. The piece shows vintage-use marks: fine scratches on cap and barrel, loss of shine and greenish patina on the ebonite of the nib collar and the end of the barrel, wear and small corrosion spots on the gold of the clip and the cap rings, and the cap engraving only partially legible. The celluloid iridescence preserves transparency and allows viewing the ink level. The gold nib appears intact and well aligned, with light patina. The piston’s operation has not been tested.

Extras: Only the loose piece; no box, case, or papers visible in the photos.
