Waterman Reflex Leonardo da Vinci c. late 1990s

It's not every day that a fairly ordinary pen becomes a hot collectible. The Waterman Reflex certainly meets the "ordinary" requirement, being the entry level pen in the Waterman line during the late 1990s. Many large pen manufacturers in the 1990s produced inexpensive pens that were sold in stationers, drug stores, and big box office supply stores. They were often sold on hang cards or in cheap paperboard boxes. The two versions of the Leonardo da Vinci pens caught the attention of collectors in the early 2000s and prices rocketed to $150 for each fountain pen and more with the matching ballpoint pen. These pens still command prices in that range today.
