Italy, 1936, “AURORA” fountain pen, “Ethiopia” model, 14-karat gold nib, complete. Pencil case dimensions: 16.5 x 6.5 x 2.5 cm Renamed and known among collectors as “the pen of the Empire,” it was produced in the wake of the proclamation of the Empire following the victorious entry of Italian troops into Addis Ababa. The version shown here features a barrel made of ivory-white celluloid (designed at the time to reflect the sun’s rays in the desert). The cap is engraved with a Roman eagle and the word “Ethiopia.” Complete with a case containing the travel inkwell and its rare Bakelite pendant commemorating the empire. In excellent condition.
