KRONE FOUNTAIN PEN, "APOLLO XI". Body in brown/black resin, and silver ornamentation. Limited edition. Exemplary 147/488. Bicolor gold nib 18 kts. M point. Screw cap. Loading by cartridge. No box. Unused. Measurements: 15 cm. length. The Krone pen pays tribute to Apollo XI. The Krone Apollo 11 pen contains elements of that monumental journey. On the top of the cap is a recessed print representing the impression of the first step on the moon. The pen is made of a fine Italian resin with silver and white speckles, representing the great translunar void of space. On the clip is an embossed olive branch, one of the enduring symbols of the mission, representing Apollo as a mission of peace. The Apollo 11 command module, Columbia, rises in polished sterling silver above the matte-finish overlay of the moon's surface, simulating the moon's dull "magnificent desolation." The Krone Apollo 11 fountain pen integrates the most profound symbols of the Apollo 11 mission with the rarest of space collectibles, an authentic artifact from the Columbia spacecraft, the vehicle that carried Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins to the moon on that historic day in July 1969. Krone is an American brand that brings luxury writing instruments, products that evoke discussion and even controversy. With this approach, Krone has captured the attention of pen collectors around the world and has expanded the market to those who not only appreciate the aesthetics, but have an emotional attachment to the history that Krone brings them closer to. Thanks to Krone, writing instrument collections are no longer exclusively for pen collectors, they go beyond that. No box. Unused.
