Today I have for you the only Pelikan in the big box of pens. This is a 120 “school” pen from probably the early sixties. I think originally the nib was gold plated, but lots of pictures I found of this model, the gold wears off. I’m going to guess that is what happened here. The piston to fill the pen moves by turning the black end piece. I love how the clip is a pelican head and beak. It’s very gentle to fill compared with the piston actions of some of the other pens.

Beauty! These school pens are real nice. I love the color of this one.
Nice that it's still in working order! How's it writing?

It’s one of the smoothest ones to come out of this batch. Makes me want to practice my handwriting.

I love to pull a pen out of the collection and find that it's a smooth writer!

I've been looking for a 100N for a while now, but haven't seen any.
This 120 looks like a pen that could become a daily use / carry pen for me. Simply elegant.
