The Ellipse was introduced in 2000 as a fountain pen and a ball pen and by 2001 the line also included a roller ball and mechanical pencil. It sported a new kind of clip, keeping the basic arrow design but adding an attractive elliptica droplet at the top, about where the blue diamond was found on more vintage pens. The 23k gold plated clip went all over the top, a bit like the Eversharp Skyline and a like likewise gold plated, elliptic cap band, very similar to the Mont Blanc Meisterstück “12” of the 1960’s protected the cap lip. The nib was in solid 18k engraved with the elaborate P. The Ellipse fountain pen sold for about $155, the roller ball for $115, the ballpoint for $100 and the pencil $70. This set sports a rather fat body which had coats of lacquer on a solid brass base. They are Blue and are slightly used. It’s been said that the Ellipse was a decidedly modern pen that managed to mix the vintage style of the Parkers with a contemporary design. These pens were discontinued in 2002, thus making them an instant collectible.
