Hire the vintage Pelikan 140 for just £5.00 per week!
Description:
Production of the 140 officially ran from April of 1952 through July of 1965. In its most basic form, the 140 is a smaller pen with a capped length of 4.87 inches, a posted length of 5.72 inches, a diameter of 0.47 inches, and a weight of 0.42 ounces. It is a piston filled fountain pen with a synthetic seal and the ink capacity is probably somewhere around 1.5 mL. Rather understated in its styling, the 140 sports a characteristic domed cap top and an elongated piston knob. The furniture is generally gold-plated and consists of a beak clip and a single cap band.
This is an earlier model, with EF 14k nib.

Note this is not my pen, I'm taking care of the pensharing logistics on behalf of a friend.
Choice of ink:
By default, the pen will be empty and clean. But I do have a wide range of inks which are all listed on my profile. If you fancy trying something, let me know and I'll either fill the pen or send a sample (depending on ease of packaging etc)
