Writing-instrument collectors are only marginally interested in desk accessories like roller blotters, so the target group is small. Comparable un-gilded Lerche models are offered on platforms like penexchange.de for around 25 euros and find barely any response there. Gold platings are also wafer-thin and do not significantly influence material value. Such pieces are not extremely rare — if not from Lerche, then from other brands — and compete with numerous substitutes like blotter rockers. A sale via eBay or penexchange.de is possible, but often more rewarding is keeping it as a memento.
