Vintage “Pelikan M250″ Fountain Pen-Burgundy Red-Old Style-14K Nib-Germany 1980s. In 1863 Günther Wagner, a chemist, became partner in a business founded by Carl Hornemann. In 1878 Wagner added the name “Pelikan” from one of the elements in his family crest: a pelican feeding four chicks in its nest. The Pelikan factory produced ink, paints, glue, type writer ribbons, stencils, stamp pads and carbon paper. In 1929 the first fountain pen was launched: the “Pelikan 100″, a piston filler designed by the engineers Theodor Kovacs and Carola Bako. In the 1950s the clip got redesigned in the shape of a pelican beak. After Wagners retirement his son-in-law and successor Fritz Beindorff led the company to become one of the worlds leading makers of fountain pens.
