Greetings all,
My name is Brian, and I just registered a few moments ago. For some time I've been trying to find out, generally, the value of a fountain pen of which I came in possession. After some research I was able to determine that the pen is a Pelikan Toledo M710 (old style; Produced from 1992-1999 according www.pelikan-collectibles.com). I see the newer versions selling for somewhere between $500-$900 depending on the year and whether it has docs and original box. The pen I have came in an M700 box, without any document, but in perfect condition. I don't know if it had ever been used, but I did have to have the nib polished and tuned. I'm not looking to get an official appraisal of the pen, I just want some idea of the value. I would chance at guessing that it's more valuable than those produced between 2009-2011 since they've been out of production longer, but I really have no idea. I just thought I would ask a more experienced community what they thought the value (ball park) of the pen may be. Thank you for any positive feedback.
