Rare Vintage \"Pelikan 140\" Fountain Pen-Classic Racing Green-Germany 1950s.
In 1863 Günther Wagner, a chemist, became partner in a business founded by Carl Hornemann. In 1878 Wagner added the name \"Pelikan\" from one of the elements in his family crest: a pelican feeding four chicks in its nest. The Pelikan factory produced ink, paints, glue, type writer ribbons, stencils, stamp pads and carbon paper. In 1929 the first fountain pen was launched: the \"Pelikan 100\", a piston filler designed by the engineers Theodor Kovacs and Carola Bako. In the 1950s the clip got redesigned in the shape of a pelican beak.After Wagner’s retirement his son-in-law and successor Fritz Beindorff led the company to become one of the world’s leading makers of fountain pens. In the 1970s Pelikan Schoolpens, together with those of Geha were the most popular pens in Germany.Specifications:
