The auction catalogue 'Bonhams Knightsbridge — Fine and Rare Vintage Fountain Pens and Lighters' from 1997 documents a writing-instrument auction of the English auction house Bonhams Knightsbridge. Numerous older fountain pens from all over the world were auctioned, supplemented by some lighters, ink bottles and stands, each accompanied by estimated prices. Besides internationally known and unknown brands, many German makers like Montblanc, Pelikan, Kaweco and Faber-Castell are also represented.
The cover image shows the aviation pioneer Amy Johnson with 'Amy Johnson's Gold Presentation Pen from F. D. Waterman', a memento of her solo flight from England to Australia between 5 and 24 May 1930; the auction house estimated it at 3,000 to 5,000 pounds. Comparatively cheap, by contrast, is a black Montblanc pen set number 136 from the late 1930s with an estimate of 250 to 350 pounds. From the 1990s at least three further Bonhams writing-instrument catalogues exist.
