I always wanted to share my vintage and modern fountain pen collection, so I started this channel to showcase them all, as well as provide comparisons between various models.
All my vintage fountain pen reviews contain interesting historical information about the pen model and the manufacturer.
I also make modern fountain pen reviews, roller ball and ball point pen reviews.
I LOVE VINTAGE FOUNTAIN PENS AND I WANT TO SHARE MY PASSION WITH YOU!
I love vintage fountain pen instruments but I also review modern or new fountain pens and other writing instruments.

COVID-19 Update:
Please stay home! In this difficult period as the virus forces us to stay indoors, writing or drawing with a fountain pen can be a plesant and relaxing way to spend our time.
For this purpouse I will make a new series of short videos on my channel: "Fountain Pen Therapy" - indoor exercises with your fountain pens.
Take care of yourself! ♥️

Very interesting! Thanks!
Thanks for this review! See you soon!
Very interesting! Thanks!
Love your reviews, hope you will have a chance someday to check out our cool vintage pens like Kawuska or Zenith as we pretty much don't have any quality brands now. Cheers from Poland! @edit I've checked and these are about 1-2 euro here, hadn't really got into them as I'm more into japanese and german brands
It would have been funny if you had your swinging balanced watch from your desk on your towel at the beach. Not practical away on vacation but funny.
@@jh500us yes. A good idea. Very funny! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Bogdan 😊 Mine has these specific characteristics: - “MONT”+logo+“BLANC” MARKING on the cap - “252”+”KF” MARKING on the filler cap - Colorless transparent ink window - No marking on the golden ring - feeder : only 2 vertical lines - nib: Mont+blanc+14C+Montblanc+585 - caseine cap
Very interesting model! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing the precious information 🙏🏻
Thank you 🙏🏼
is this thick or thin ink?
My familly used it for a long time and its the best ever
@@MemeFDB good to know, my friend! Thank you for watching my review! 🙂
please do a full review of the 254 model, you didn't show the nib and other features of this lovely pen 🙏
@@kenshinhimura3014 you can see the review here: ruclips.net/video/kRUbS5rpyqo/видео.html
@@ThePenCollectorBogdan thank you
Asa de ieftin era stiloul ala în 2022 ? Eu mi am cumpărat azi unul ca acela pe albastru de la Carrefour și acum e 13 lei dar măcar scrie bine😊
There is absolutely no info on Franconia pens online. I have a similar pen but without any markings. Did you find out what pens are these exactly?
It seems like it has a folded steel tipping instead of the traditional iridium ball.
Happy Birthday Bogdan!!!
@@FGBFGB-vt7tc thank you! 🙂
Happy 41 !
@@loha8668 thank you! 🙂
Happy birthday, my friend! What an interesting chess set. I've had a few non-standard designs in the past, of varying practicality.
Happy birthday, man
@@arseniy7652 thank you! 🙂
♪Happy birthday to you.🎂🎉🎉 Also the stylish chess set is really nice touch.👍
@@kaorumoon16th thank you! 🙂
Than you for posting this. What a passion! This model of wonderful Pelikan was given to me when I was a teenager, by an old lady, many years ago. It was a keepsake from her son. I used it in high school and college for writing and drawing portraits, I respected it, but after a dozen or so years I sat on it accidentally breaking it. So I immediately bought the same model in excellent shape for something like 100 dollars because I loved my fountain pen so much.
On the warranty card it reads: Pelikan congratulates you for the winning of this high quality fountain pen. If you wish for another nib size, we will change it into one of the 8 regularly available sizes within four weeks of getting the pen. Of course you can expect a long lasting warranty for this piece of writing equipment in case of any eventual material- or manifacturing errors. It is valid for five years from the raffledate: November 1996. Please contact this address in both cases: and then just the address of Pelikan below
I would love to see a remake of your Pelikan design history video with all the pens you have bought since
You inspired me to try and collect iconic pens from each design phase, I now have one of almost every model from 1932-1965 (Rappen, 100 (4 chicks from 1935 and war version from 1940s), 100N from the 50s, 100N taylorix reserved for me, IBIS 130, 300 reserved for me, 400, 120, 140 (green striped 1960s, early bordeaux with broad clip, black and black Taylorix with a blue and green one reserverd), 400N, 400NN (green striped OBB and a tortoise brown reserved for me)) and a lot from after that (several 60s/70s rolled golds, silvexxas etc., early m481 with friction fit nib for example)
Saludos desde Ecuador una pasion que comparto las Estilograficas
In Greece the 62ml bottle costs 10.20 euro and the 30ml bottle costs 5.60 euro. In Turkey the 62ml costs 5.40 euro and the 30 ml 2.66 euro. You in Romania are even cheaper than Turkey. Prices in Greece are probably very close to American prices, even if it doesn't have to travel that far from Germany, even if the monthly salary in Greece is probably a quarter of American salary or maybe less than that. I am wondering what are the prices in Germany? It is the manufacturer country but the monthly salary is 3-4 times that of Greece. Greece is the most expensive country in the Balkans. The cost of living here is unbearable. Back in the 70's-80's everyone could afford to spend even a whole month of vacations in Greek islands, now you can't even go there for 3-4 days. They have been turned into a tourist trap for rich people who made up tens of euros per month.
@@nikossiotas Greece is still cheaper than the US, as the 30ml bottle is 12$USD here. If you take the standard wage and subtract our income taxes a 30ml bottle takes two and a quarter hours wages, let’s not forget that when you go to buy it yet again, on average you can add another 7-13% sales tax on top of the 12$ ink price.
@@HistoricGentleman 😮😢
Sadly, this is considered cheap ink as some of the other brands, Sailor, MB and so forth can cost 1$ or more per milliliter
@@nikossiotas sadly, pricing here keeps fountain pens and ink out of the hands of an average user as it is prohibitively expensive for a family to go down that route compared to a .05$ ballpoint that’s disposable and has several miles worth of ink already installed in its barrel
Hey, thanks for video. Is it possible to remove nib from pen to clean? I mean Herlitz MyPen.
I was hoping to see the workings as I have a pencil very similar that is not working - I believe it needs a spring.
Nice Monterosa unboxing. About the paper bits stuck to the backside of the sticker: There is a label remover from the bran CRC that if you use a q-tip and spray on it and then touch the bits of paper, the chemical will go through the paper and dissolve the glue on the other side. Gently lift the bits from the sticker and let them dry. Glue them om the box later. Hope you have kept the sticker.
Great price!! Well done!
4001 Royal Blue is THE INK in Germany. The ink we all started with in 1st grad (nowadays pupils start with fountain pens in 3rd grade), the ink all public servants have to use and the ink you will find cartridges for in everybody‘s desk drawer.
Are you from Germany? How much does it usually cost there?
Wow, I’ve never seen it that priced in the USA !!!
Read my comment about prices in Greece, if that makes you feel better... 😐
That’s 1/3 of the price it retails for in the US. We really get shafted on pricing here in the states on anything related to fountain pens. Not to mention that our ridiculous price is for the 30ml bottle
Read my comment about prices in Greece, if that makes you feel better... 😐
Thank you for a great review. How would you repair the damaged cap? I have bought a damaged 262 and want to repair it. Thank you! Greetings from Sweden.
Interesting !!! A very inexpensive pen that writes right out of the box.
Hero ink made by Shanghai Ink Factory→Shanghai Jingxi Stationery Co. Ltd. under Hero Group. Hero Lishui Branch's ink is Dux. Hero Pen Factory's own ink is Doctor.
@@daviddavidrovic3049 thank you for this information!
Golden Fish is made by the Beijing Pencil Factory.
My friends found something interesting that China had provided nib samples and technical documents to Hungary, 26mm nib sample to Romania, technical documents to Poland in that.
at the year 1956
Hi, your vid helped me a lot. We just found a vintage mechanical pencil and had been trying to figure out how to refill it. Lucky that it works the same way as yours. Just wanna know what is the size for the refill?
So beautiful pen 👍😊
Wasn’t the Kaweco Dia 85 produced between 1952-1957?
It's broken
Does anyone know what the original price of the montblanc rosa would have been in the 1950s
1/3 of the price they would be outside of Roumania
A great buy. Now you need to find fountain pens to put them in!
Oh! Beautiful nibs!! As always you make a good deal.👍
Another beautiful pen my friend. I Hope to own a 1930s montblanc one day
The version 12 set has a dotting wheel in the top left corner, hese are found in the more pro sets and are true works of art and will last several life times, thank you for sharing.
My m400 nib also has cracks on both sides. Are nibs from this era prone to breaking? However,it's a soft nib that bends well.😁
Some nibs from that time can be cracked, though that will probably be the case with modern nibs too in 60 years or so
@@H.G.Halberd Thank you.
Perfect for spare parts 😊
