Fine-Medium nib, Lever fill system. |

This classic black fountain pen with rolled gold trim was made in England by Conway Stewart around 1939. The barrel imprint states: “Conway Stewart 388 Made in England”.

It is in good condition with only minor wear to the gold fill. It has a Waterman Ideal nib with a medium point. It is a small slim pen measuring 9cm with cap on and 12.2cm with cap on barrel end. A super vintage pen to either add to a collection or to use everyday. A slim ribbon is available free of charge in either black,white, emerald green or bright blue.

Waterman No. 52 - 9ct. gold bands | Stock number: 4002 |
 Click for a larger version of this picture. | |
Fine to Medium nib, Lever fill system. |
Sold |
This early vintage pen was made by Waterman in the USA around 1925. In common with other pens of its era it is made of hard rubber. This particular model is decorated, as can be seen in the illustration, with two 9ct gold bands, one containing the “FDW” initials which stand for Frank D. Waterman - thereby signifying the Waterman brand. He was a noted philanthropist and died in May 1938 having been “actively engaged in the business for 50 years. During that time he saw the number of employees increase from two to two thousand.” It has the Waterman gold fill clip on the cap. You will note a ring indentation around the bottom of the cap. This does not mean that a cap band is missing – simply the way it was designed as confirmed by advertisements of the period. The gold fill lever has the Waterman Ideal lozenge. The bottom of the barrel has a feint imprint of the model number “52” – a very popular range which came in a number of designs. At the end of the barrel is the text “Waterman’s Reg. US. Pat. Off. Made in USA”. The nib is a “Waterman Ideal” with a fine to medium point – having the usual pleasing Waterman flex. It measures 13.2cm with cap on and 16.7cm with cap on barrel end. There is slight colour variation between the cap and barrel but not a cause for concern. Overall it is in good condition - an everyday writer with a flexible nib. With its two gold bands it was obviously a cut above the rest when issued and remains so today – a fine vintage Waterman. | |

Parker True Blue | Stock number: 5074 |
 Click for a larger version of this picture. | |
Medium nib, Button fill system. |
£138.00 |
Postage and packing | |
This rare vintage pen was made by Parker in 1929. Marketed as the “True Blue” it was a bid by Parker to enter the more medium price market. Unfortunately at the time this was not successful, hence this particular model was only made for short period. The barrel imprint reads: “Geo S. Parker” “Fountain Pen” “Made in Canada” “Patented”. The medium nib states “Parker Fountain Pen 14k Canada 45”. There is slight colour variation between cap and barrel and moderate ambering which is common in this particular model. The cap sports the original Parker ball ended clip to which there is some brassing and there are minor marks on the cap top edges, however it is in good condition overall. It is a slim button filling pen measuring 12.6cm with cap on and 15.2cm with cap on end of barrel. This vintage pen, now fully restored, will once again provide many more years of writing service and also make a fine addition to a vintage pen collection. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. A gift box is available free of charge on request and filling instructions will be included in your order.

Parker 51 - Jet Black | Stock number: 5016 |
 Click for a larger version of this picture. | |
Medium nib, Aerometric fill system. |
£95.00 |
Postage and packing | |
This vintage pen was made in England by Parker around 1955. Its aerodynamic design has made it a classic and the plaudits it has received over the years both in terms of design and reliability are well deserved. Its contribution to design is evidenced by its display in the Design Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York and it has been marketed as “51…the world’s most wanted pen”. This particular model has a jet black body and the polished steel cap Parker termed “lustraloy”. The pen is in very good condition overall and the Parker 51 nib is a medium smooth writer. It measures 14cm with cap on and 15.2cm with cap on barrel end. The aerometric filling system is often termed "squeezebox" and is a very simple method of filling the pen with ink by unscrewing the barrel to expose a metal shell covering the ink sac - just press the metal bar and release up to five times and this vintage pen is ready to use. Parker 51’s are not only a collector’s item but also an excellent everyday workhorse. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. A gift box is available free of charge on request. | |

Swan SF1 with 18ct gold band | Stock number: 4181 |
 Click for a larger version of this picture. | |
Fine-medium nib, Lever fill system. |
Sold |
This vintage pen was made in England by Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd, under the Swan brand. The shell is made of hard rubber. As was the practice at the time, various versions with gold cap bands and overlay were produced for the more discerning customer. The barrel imprint reads “Swan self-filler – Swan trademark, Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd. Made in England”. This particular model has a cap band marked 18ct. and sports a Swan clip which, interestingly, was made in the USA. The variation between countries is not unusual as hard rubber pens were often made without clips and these were purchased at a later date as they became available. This particular clip is called an accommodation clip (so named because it could accommodate most pen caps of the period). It has the Swan logo. The fine-medium nib states “Swan 1, 14ct. Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd.” This vintage pen is in good condition with only minor surface and plating wear and one tiny crack in the cap between the cap band and the cap end where it meets the barrel - but this does not detract from the closed cap fitting. It is a slim pen and measures 12.9cm with cap on and 16cm with cap on end of barrel. An early pen and a good addition to a Swan collection but also suitable for everyday use. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. A gift box is available free of charge on request and filling instructions will be sent with your order. | |

Medium - Broad nib, Lever fill system. |
£160.00 |
Postage and packing | |
This vintage pen was made by Waterman around 1930. It has a smooth 18ct gold fill overlay on a hard rubber base. The model number, which is on the bottom of the barrel, is explained by 5 = lever fill, 52½ = slender size and v = short length. It measures 13cm with cap on and 16.2cm with cap on barrel end. It is not really a short pen but slightly shorter than the standard 52 model available at the time. The broad nib states “Waterman’s Ideal England”. It has a Waterman Ideal Clip Cap clip and Ideal lozenge on the barrel lever. Its condition is good overall with some surface age wear and a small ding on the rear of the cap. This is reflected in the price. An elegant pen which will grace any collection and also provide good service as a daily writer. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. A gift box is available free of charge on request and filling instructions will be sent with your order. | |
