Pelikan’s Wonders of Nature Series

So, it turns out that the Pelikan Niagara Falls isn’t part of the special Cities Series but is actually the first of a new Wonders of Nature (WoN) Series. I guess we should have read the press release more carefully and also the different size should have been a clue, the Cities are 620 while the WoN is 640.

Pendemonium is taking orders for the second pen in the Wonders of Nature series – the Sahara. While there are no pictures available on the site, Sam describes it as “swirling sands on a metal contoured barrel in bronze tones”.

I started a discussion thread on the Fountain Pen Network asking if anyone had knowledge of this pen and initially had no luck but then “Johnson” noticed the Sahara in a Joon catalog and posted the catalog excerpt in a new discussion thread – link here . The catalog describes it as “a stunning interpretation of the Sahara Desert. A uniquely carved metal barrel is designed after the wind swept patterns of the Sahara.”

While the catalog does not appear to indicate the size of the pen, based on a reference to a “newly engineered shape”, I am reasonably certain that it is the 640. Although a series of pens do not necessarily have to be the same shape and size, that is Pelikan’s history with the Cities series so I expect the same for the WoN.

It shall be interesting to see some more pictures of this pen and to see it in person for a better impression of its appeal.

Pelikan Niagara Falls

The Pelikan Niagara Falls is a spectacular edition to the City Series of pens. Just got mine from Pam at http://www.oscarbraunpens.com/ . As any pen insider knows, Pam has the best service and prices in the pen business. Check out her site! No affiliation, just a very happy customer!

The one drawback to the 620 City Series is the size – I prefer the 800/805 models and the 620 is just a little bit smaller than fits my hands. They have “fixed” this problem with the Niagara Falls model – now a 640 size – which has a nice plump girth. It is also cool to have a Canadian pen in the series!

The special edition Niagara Falls is constructed with the finest of materials. The focal point is the metal shaft whose silver-colored elements consist of an elaborate Rhodium alloy. The fountain pen components manufactured of noble resin glimmer in water blue.

I am fortunate to have a complete collection of this series, which includes the following models:

Niagara Falls – Canada
Grand Place – Belgium
Piccadilly Circus – England
Place de la Concorde – France
Piazza Navona – Italy
Shanghai – China
Athens – Greece
New York City – U.S.
San Francisco – U.S.
Chicago – U.S.
Madrid – Spain
Stockholm – Sweden
Berlin – Germany
