Luxurious "Ebos" Ballpoint Pen Made of High-Carat Gold, c. 1970

This ballpoint pen is made of high-carat gold. It comes from Bossert & Erhard, which has been manufacturing writing instruments and mechanical precision parts since 1919. In the post-war period, the company launched its own ballpoint pens on the market under the Ebos brand, making it one of the first European manufacturers of this new writing technology. The ballpoint pen was developed in the 1930s by Hungarian journalist László Bíró, who combined a quick-drying ink and a small ball point. After the Second World War, the ballpoint pen spread worldwide and increasingly replaced the fountain pen in everyday use. Companies such as Bossert & Erhard helped to establish the ballpoint pen as a high-quality writing instrument in Europe. Our specimen is made with a coat of high-carat 750/000 yellow gold and features a structure of longitudinal ripples typical of the period. This creates an extremely decorative play of light. The pen is in very good condition and is a luxurious writing accessory. We discovered it here in Berlin. It is engraved with the initials of the previous owner and the year "1970" on the center ring.
