From the very first Aurora fountain pen produced in 1919 to the lengthy series of classically designed fountain pens created by the company until now, it has become not only a simple instrument used to write but also a way of life.
One thing you will notice about Aurora fountain pens is the fact that their price ranges are at least one notch higher than their Italian counterparts. Nonetheless, when you get to explore every detail of the pen, you will realize that it is pretty much understandable.
The typical look of the Aurora fountain pen includes a matte-finished body, with a 14kt gold band and clip. The design is very conservative and unassuming like most other Italian pens are which is always a good thing. Aurora is known for its simple yet classy designs that are well loved by most collectors.
Some may think that Aurora fountain pens are a bit smaller than the usual pens but it does not mean that it is uncomfortable to use. What most people do is to attach the cap onto the rear of the pen when writing to add to the original length of the pen. Some others find the pen well balanced even without the cap on. This is because the width of the pen is rounded enough to conform to the contours of the fingers.
The bodies of most Aurora pens are made of acrylic resins although the material used for the newer models are made of Auroloide, the manufacturer’s own brand of a type of celluloid. Both materials are quite durable ad lasting which is perfect for those who actually needs pen for writing and not for their collections.
These pens are known for the “AURORA” engravings right on the 14kt gold band. The design is very prevalent among Italian brands as well.
