Here's a chance for you to help folks in need and acquire a rare and beautiful pen that rarely shows up on the market. I had initially listed this pen for sale, but with so many people in need of food and other help during these times, I'd like to see us, as pen people, donate the proceeds to an organization that is directly helping families and individuals facing dire situations. So I am offering this pen up for a donation of $450, (or more, if you're willing) to one of the following organizations:
The Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina, or
Urban Ministries of Wake County (North Carolina)
Here is how this would work: email me: doug1808@gmail.com or send me a PM to let me know you want to make the donation and amount. I will send you the contact info for these two organizations and put the pen on hold for you. Make your donation online to the organization and email me your confirmation. I will then send the pen to you via insured, Priority mail (CONUS only). I did a similar thing some years ago in memory of Dennis Bowden, and it worked very well. I hope this will do the same.
To commemorate its 70th anniversary, Rotring collaborated with Visconti in 1998 to produce the Rotring 1928 limited edition. This is a large pen, made from celluloid in green checked marble. Outer box, wooden display box, drawstring bag, booklet are included, as is the rapidograph –style needle point, which is interchangeable with the fountain pen nib section. Mint/un-inked. Limited Edition: 0476/1928.
Several photos are attached.
