What are some great pens to invest in ?

[mustud52]

As investments, I would choose classic pens from the 1920´s 1930´s, in large sizes and excellent condition. Matching pencils would be a bonus.

Why the stipulation of large size? Most modern posh pens are large, so something different might provide that frisson of enjoyment you are after. Go smaller, go vintage, say like a Pelikan 100N or original 400, and you have a far more comfortable and usable high quality pen from the past. I say that as someone who has quite a few modern as well as many vintage pens and enjoys using all of them.

Well, you missed your chance already for the Savannah Green Lamy....

If anyone did want to invest in a pen for monetary gain, Lamy Safari and Al-Star limited editions are the way to go. Was amazed to see how much some people are asking for a Ruby Red Al-Star already

Because less large pens were made, therefore, they are more valuable. You can check the price on a Parker Duofold Senior, and a Junior, you will see the difference.

Just curious, how much did the pen sell for and how long did the seller had to keep it ?
