Montegrappa Earnest Hemingway The Traveller Fountain Pen - 18k Gold

Montegrappa Earnest Hemingway "The Traveller" 18k Yellow Gold Fountain Pen Mightier Than the Sword Collection Limited Edition of 10 Ernest Hemingway was one of the most innovative and influential writers, reporters and novelists of the 20th century, one who wrote, coincidentally, with Montegrappa pens. Of particular significance in the history of Montegrappa is Hemingway having spent time during World War I in Bassano del Grappa at Villa Ca Erizzo, next to the pen factory. The Traveller Wanderlust was in Hemingway’s blood, this inveterate traveller closely associated with a number of locations from Spain to Italy, Paris to the Florida Keys. Evoking the spirit of the voyage, The Traveller in Sterling Silver and Charcoal Black celluloid, is adorned with airplanes, maps and passports, with 11 of his associated locations highlighted. It is reminiscent of the era when travel was an adventure, the symbolism of the design showing the “starting” airport is the nearest airport to his birthplace while the other is the nearest airport to his place of death. A compass resides on the cap top, a repeating airplane motif dresses the clip and barrel, a sea light tower features on the barrel end and a boat steering wheel is positioned centrally.
