The Joy of Collecting Antique
Fountain Pens
At any given time, The Fountain Pen Shop carries over 1,000 antique, collectible
fountain pens for sale to collectors and fountain pen enthusiasts. All are either unused
or professionally restored and in "like new" writing condition.
Prices for fully-restored collectible fountain pens range from a low of $25 to as high
as $500 for a specialized Waterman pen from 1909. The typical price will be in the $100 to
$150 range, which is less than what you would pay for an equivalent contemporary pen
without any history. However, many of today's beautiful contemporary pens will become
tomorrow's collectibles.
Buyers of antique fountain pens range from serious collectors who put the pens away in
display cases without ever using them, to people in all stages of life who like to use
fine antique writing instruments with a history. Distinctive antique pens are conversation
pieces and ice breakers in business and social situations.
The Fountain Pen Shop has developed extensive sources of antique writing instruments.
Sometimes people contact us and offer entire pen collections. We also participate in
specialized pen shows and are part of the worldwide network of pen collectors. In addition
to offering the collectible pens that we already have in stock, we will respond to
requests for specific models to round out collections. We will contact our network and
advertise as needed to locate these models.
How to Select an Antique Fountain
Pen
Please phone us to discuss your collectible pen requirements, since this website
can
only show representative samples. If we have one or more pens that meet your wishes, we
will place them on our scanner and send you the jpg files via e-mail together with
pricing.
