PE1735: This pen has the old style script nib in broad, and is very clean with no flaws. $215.00

PE1912: This pen still has the nib sticker (which shows some wear), but has seen ink, though it shows no signs of use. The nib is an EF, and there is some choice of other nibs, though you might want to keep it intact. A good starting point for advancing or upgrading your collection of 140s. $225.00.

PE2056: 1959 Pelikan 140 in black. This pen, which is without flaws and shows only minimal wear is highlighted by an oblique medium nib with just a hint of flex. $225.00

PE2057: 1954 Pelikan 140 in black with a medium nib. This is a transition pen with imprints on both barrel and capband. It has a buttery smooth, slightly flexible medium nib. A truly clean pen and great user. $195.00 SOLD!

PE2058: 1959 Pelikan 140 in black. Broad nibs are among the most highly sought Pelikan nibs for all around use. With just a hint of stubbiness and good flex, this pen, without flaw, would make a great gift, maybe just to yourself. $225.00 SOLD!
