A brilliant piece of vintage European desk design. This authentic mid-century empty Pelikan "72 S" ink bottle features the iconic, clever "Lying Glass" wedge silhouette. Designed in Germany, this angular shape allows the bottle to be tilted backward onto its rear panel, pooling the very last drops of ink right at the neck for easy filling. [1, 2]
Features its original, dark black ribbed Bakelite screw cap stamped with the historic early Pelikan mother-and-nest logo. The base is embossed with the crisp factory size stamp "72 S". A perfect, functional display piece for a calligrapher's desk, studio photo prop, or an antique bottle collection. [1, 2]
