WWII-era Pelikan 4001
Was at the Museum of World War II in Natick Massachusetts and happened upon this. Thought you might be interested. I didn't realize they'd been calling it "4001" for so long!

Very cool. I love seeing old stuff like this in museums. We toured the USS Alabama last month and I saw some very cool shaving and pen stuff that was pretty accurate to the time frame. It was a lot of fun to see.

Re: WWII-era Pelikan 4001
For those who can't be bothered to deal with the German script, this is an iron gall ink (Eisengallustinte). At the bottom it says:
"Slightly bluish"
"Turns black"
The last line is literally "Extra thin/runny". You get the idea. I can't read the red above it in the photo. I plan to go back sometime, and I will try to take a better camera with me then.

"4001" Pelikan ink started in 1898.
