Pelikan 140 Black-Green Fountain Pen, 14K KM-nib - Preowned

This Pelikan 140 is a true vintage classic, representing an iconic era of German pen manufacturing. Produced between 1954 and 1964, this fountain pen embodies the timeless design and robust engineering that made Pelikan a legendary name in the world of writing instruments.

The pen features the instantly recognizable black-green striped cellulose acetate barrel, a hallmark of Pelikan's design from that period. Its compact, elegant size and gold-plated trim give it a sophisticated, retro aesthetic. As a pre-owned piece, this pen carries the subtle charm of its history, showing that it has been a well-cared-for companion for decades.

The KM nib from Pelikan is a special vintage nib known for its unique ball-shaped tip. The "K" stands for "Kugelspitze" (ball tip), and the "M" for "Medium."

Its key features are:

• Forgiving Writing Angle: The rounded tip allows for a smooth, consistent line regardless of how you hold the pen, making it ideal for fast writing and for left-handed users.

• No "Sweet Spot": Unlike a standard nib, it doesn't have a single perfect writing position, ensuring a consistently soft and uniform writing experience.

• Historical Significance: These nibs were popular in the mid-20th century and are now highly sought after by collectors for their unique and pleasant writing feel.

This vintage Pelikan 140 is an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates the history, craftsmanship, and unique writing character of a classic fountain pen. Its iconic design and exceptional nib make it a standout piece in any collection.

Attention: This pen is preowned and has some signs of use and storage due to its age. It has no deep scratches or dents and is in fully working condition, ready to write.
