What are
"vintage Pelikan pens"?
What's "vintage Pelikan pen"? Every Pelikan lovers may have their own definition of "vintage Pelikan pen". Initially, the fountain pens listed here were only model 100 family and their economy lines. When I revised this website in April, 2022, model 400 family and their economy lines were added. Now, these are taken together "vintage Pelikan pens" for me, and I would say that they are "the first and the second generation" of Pelikan fountain pens, respectively. The reasons are presented in Overview.
