About the Aurora Europa Limited Edition
This limited edition fountain pen celebrates Europe and it’s history. The Aurora Europa collection showcases the map of the continent on the clip. The decorations on the ring of the cap trace Europe through the centuries from the factories to the train, from the double helix of the DNA molecule to the stars.
The barrel is marbled in “Furno di londra” resin and an 18K solid gold nib. A blue synthetic quartz is studded on the top of the cap.
Product Specifications
Nib Material: Gold
Aurora was founded in 1919 in Turin, as “Fabbrica Italiana Penne a Serbatoio Aurora”, by Isaia Levi, a wealthy financier and merchant of tissues, which after the end of the First World War decided to invest in the production of writing instruments. Levi already saw the presence of many small producers in the industrial district of Settimo Torinese, but decided to give his company a precise direction towards an industrial production that should be at the vanguard in both technical and qualitative terms, but also with a strong push towards the marketing of its products with large advertising and a strong support for the sales network.
The company was born as an Italian producer, imitating the American pen models of the same period, but it immediately gained success for its quality production and for the functionality of its pens. In particular, in a period of strong nationalistic policies under the fascist regime, the company made a strong leverage in its promotional materials, that its pens were not subject to customs duties, and thus a lower cost than most of its international competitors.
The initial production was made of hard rubber models with the classical eyedropper or safety filler, clearly inspired by the pens produced by American companies like Waterman that had began to be marketed in Italy. These were black hard rubber pens in a smooth or chased version, and also, rarer mottled models. There were also luxury models in solid gold, gold plate and laminated metal overlays.

Platinum 3776 Century Nice Transparency M nib Fountain Pen
235,00€It has normally been thought difficult to make an airtight pen with a screw-type cap. If not sealed tightly, the following problems can result:
Ink drying out due to moisture evaporation.
Problems with dried ink if the pen is not used for three to six months.
It can be necessary to clean the pen using the Platinum Ink Cleaner Kit or even to repair or replace the nib itself if the damage due to dried ink is too severe.
At the request of customers, Platinum Pen Company have gone back to the basics to deal with this problem. This is the first fountain pen which has their unique “Slip & Seal” structure in a pen with a screw-type cap. Thanks to this innovation, currently being patented, it is possible to have a screw-type cap with complete airtightness.
