Marlen L.E. Americo Vespuccio Fountain Pen

For over 35 years Marlen has created writing instruments inspired by the world around them. The Amerigo Vespucci collection is another unique limited edition, available for only a select time. Dazzling to behold, the body of the pen is crafted from silver, on which is engraved the famous ships profile in high/low relief. Located along the body are wooden, silver, and white celluloid rings; the largest of the silver rings displaying an engraved rendering of the famous ship in high/low relief. The sweeping cap is made of rings of Italian resin, also displaying a variety of wood, silver and white celluloid to match the body, the silver rings specifically enriched with small brass portholes throughout. Located on both the ship as well as the cap of the pen, is a large silver ring that displays the writing “Amerigo Vespucci”, also in high/low relief. The clip, made of silver, is forged in the shape of the sail on which a canvas piece from the ship was set. As a final embellishment, the silver cap top is intricately decorated displaying the laurels of the Italian Navy. Amerigo Vespucci is a limited edition collection, with a selection of 188 pieces for the fountain pen and 88 for the rollerball. Fountain pen comes fitted with an 18kt gold nib and uses a piston filling system. Each pen comes encased in a special, limited edition wooden box to commemorate the occasion.
