    Cool Not a fountain pen and it doesn't even write... vintage Pelikan desk pen holder x2

    And then there were two... vintage Pelikan desk pen holders, that is!

    Got a bit worried as the latest addition to the flock was three weeks due. Well, it finally arrived so there it is. 🙂
    Also featured... some other Pelikan paraphernalia, such as the Pelikan thumbtacks made in the 1930s (they have a wonderfully detailed four chic Pelikan logo as an imprint) or the bakelite capped and Wagenfeld-designed ink bottle from the same era.

    These were sold for Pelikan 100, 100N & 400 series pens so that places them somewhere between the 1930s to 1950s.

    The one on the left is the newcomer. It is most likely made somewhere between late 1930s to early 1940s. The one on the right is a later version. There are few differences between the two...

    The older version is more crudely made and finished, it is also thinner.

    The older has the Pelikan branding on the bottom. The later model made away with this and has a stabilizing metal plate there instead. Makes a lot of sense as bakelite, the material these both are made of, is very lightweight.
