Consignment, now it is your chance for this treasure!

Buying Consignment from us means trusted eyeballs and hands are between you and an unknown seller on the web.
We do our best to take great pics and give you a description of the item and any issues.
Of course, no returns or exchanges, but if there is a factory warranty we will help you as a dealer.

The price is a balance of condition and how rare something is, along with what the seller wants. Penchetta has an 75/25 split (we get the smaller part) and while we offer advice, we don't set the final price.

Explosive volcanic eruptions and the obsidian formed from the cooling lava prompted early humans to challenge nature, trying to forge tools to hunt and protect themselves for their own survival. With the same creative momentum, Visconti gave modern humans a writing instrument crafted from the same primitive volcanic rock. Hence, a great ancient tool that enabled humans to write their history was turned into a real iconic piece with a perfectly balanced design. A combination of basaltic lava from Mount Etna, catalyzed with nylon resin according to a secret process, generates an unbreakable, hygroscopic, velvet-like compound, achieving a revolutionary result for the world of writing instruments.
