Q A

I have an unused Pepe World Service fountain pen and ink set. There are three Pepe jeans metal badges in the box. Do you know what it might be worth?

While this is a really nice looking pen, it’s not going to fetch an ink-redible amount if you choose to sell. The pen, filled by using an ink “eye Fountain pen dropper”, measures six inches when closed and is worth £25 to £50 in top condition. The badges may add £10 or so. Fountain pens have only been in general use since around 1884 and collectors’ favourite items tend to fetch between £300 and £600. That said, rare ones can be worth double that.
