Since 1919, the small workshop of Ancora in northern Italy has been producing exclusive fountain pens with a distinctive dagger-like nib. The blue celluloid used on this pen has deep chatoyancy. The cap band, clip and other trim are all in baroque vermeil (gold plated over sterling silver). But, the piece de resistance on this fountain pen is the barrel. Itself which is covered with a sheet of multicolored marble from the quarries outside Florence. Owning this pen is owning a piece of Renaissance history. This pen was only made in a limited edition of 88 pens of which this is # 79. The certificate, folder and booklet/guarantee are included. Feel free to make a reasonable offer. However, you will not find this pen cheaper anywhere. My price will not be beat.
Beautiful Stipula Suprema model 243 fountain pen in excellent working condition. Pen has been used and shows some light surface scuffs throughout from normal use, but nothing too noticeable. It was taken care of! No cracks, chips, gouges, or personalizations. Pen has a wet medium point titanium nib that is a fantastic writer! Trim appears to be sterling silver (at least it polished up like sterling) and filing mechanism is a piston. There is some light ink residue on the piston and at the bottom of the ink window, but I didnt want to attempt taking the pen apart to clean it off. Barrel says Stipula Suprema 243 Made in Italy I cant find any information on the 243 model so I assume it was either limited edition or discontinued long ago. Regardless, this is a beautiful and rare pen! The item “Stipula Suprema 243 Limited Edition Fountain Pen RARE Tiger’s Eye Titanium M Nib” is in sale since Wednesday, January 13, 2021.
