1. About
Elysee was a luxury German pen brand launched in 1981 by its parent company R. Dummert at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
They had a reputation for making luxurious pens with elegant designs and a deep lustrous lacquer.
In 1991 following a recession, Staedtler bought Elysee and renamed the company élysée Schreibgeräte GmbH.
However, in June 2000, Staedtler stopped manufacturing Elysee pens, and the brand was consigned to the pages of history.
Elysee fountain pens, ballpoint pens and rollerball pens can still be found for sale at pen fairs and on Ebay.
They all take standard-size refills which are covered in more detail in the following sections.
