This pre‑owned Namiki Vanishing Point faceted black fountain pen dates to the 1994–1999 production era, a period prized by collectors for its distinctive resin body and transitional branding. The pen features a retractable 14k gold nib unit (14K585 <B> A1297) and a lightweight, faceted black barrel. It has been previously inked and shows the expected micro‑scratches from careful, normal use. The retractable mechanism functions smoothly, and the pen has been fully flushed and dried prior to listing.
This sale includes the complete original presentation kit:
• Namiki clamshell box
• Use & Care guide
• Product registration card
• Silver metal Fountain Pen Converter
• Silver metal cartridge cover cap
Most importantly, it comes with the authentic “Certificate of Retirement”—a document that outlines the Vanishing Point’s history from 1963–1999 and formally marks the end of the Namiki‑branded era in the U.S. before the line returned to the Pilot name. For collectors, this certificate is a rare, verifiable piece of brand history that significantly enhances provenance.
The previously opened ink cartridge has been removed, and a fresh, unused cartridge will be included separately (not installed) to ensure safe transit.
