Continuing on with the theme....

I was already astonished after I came across the $9500 pencil the other day (scroll to bottom of the product chart), so the $4200 fountain pen didn’t surprise me all that much, although it certainly seems to be an accident waiting to happen.

But this Conway Stewart fountain pen simply boggles me. Quite beautiful, to be sure, but holy cow. Take out a second mortgage and it can be yours.

It makes this beauty look like a bargain, while this Pelikan looks positively cheap. By comparison, of course.

It’s all relative, isn’t it? I think the last one is elegant.
