Pelikan Silver Screen Fountain Pen - Limited Edition 2009

Edition of 420 specimens (No. 120/420)

This exclusive fountain pen, pays homage to more than 100 years of film history. Celluloid in this new Limited Edition Silver Screen pen represents that used in early motion pictures.

In 1887 Hannibal Goodwin developed the roll film utilizing celluloid as a new photographic medium which laid the foundation for the film industry. And, in doing so, he created much more than just a new film imaging material: he made it possible to share moments of joy and laughter, all through the magic of movies. It wasn't until the advent of celluloid that stars such as Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe or James Dean became world-famous. But the beginning wasn't easy: the films were originally fused with cellulose nitrate and were extremely flammable, almost bursting into flames upon contact with heat. A dangerous characteristic that was finally eliminated with the refinement of film material in the 1950s.

A ring of genuine celluloid in the shape of a filmstrip encircles the shaft, and four red rubies pinpoint the center of each artfully incorporated palladium-plated star. These elements combine to commemorate the epic moments of Hollywood cinematic. Classic black along with sterling silver enhancements provides a timeless elegance.
