POSH
(Preview)
Today let's have the steward brew a nice cup java and bring it to your recliner on the deck. Return to the time when POSH still meant Port side OUT and Starboard side In, when the journey was leisurely and as much fun as the destination. [img]http://www.fototime.com/A3248812830A010/standard.jpg...

Some 3 series Swans
(Preview)
L-R 3220,3230,3240,3250 and 3261. The last is a BHR pen, the brass threads indicate earlier pens and all carry the No.2 nib. Range from good to excellent, the cap bands and lever are often found brassed and a couple of these are in that category. The grey is rarely found without some discolouration. R...

Messenger Fountain Pens. ???? Sold by UK stationers -W H Smith.
(Preview)
Does any one have any information about Messenger Fountain Pens ? Never heard the name until yesterday, and then by digging on the internet, found that they were sold by the UK nationwide stationery firm, W H Smith. Apparently their own 'make'. That make no longer exists, although Smiths still oper...

Dunhill gold coloured or gold pen.
(Preview)
It would have been my first Dunhill pen. Mail arrived on Saturday, signed for it, then drew attention of the postman that the envelope had been sliced open. The pen was missing. Visited the local Royal Mail sorting office, and got the waffle they are sometimes damaged by the machines. Showed the mana...

my first vintage pen, a Mabie Todd
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
I received my first package of pens today -- just 3 but the one I'm now in love w/ is the Mabie Todd. I don't know what model it is. The seller dated it as 1949 but didn't have the model # either. It has a medium flex nib. The imprint on the barrel has the Swan logo, and next to that it says in all caps: "Swa...

New Mabie Todd Pens?
(Preview)
I was over at FPH's site today, and saw the "new" line of Mabie Todd pens. FPH states that they are the "sole distributor" of this new series. There are two lines, and they look very nice! I was wondering if anyone had any information as to which company was now making them. Frank PS...

Dreams of Red Stardust
(Preview)
It's been 40 years already since man first stepped on the moon and any of us alive at the time certainly remember it well. At the time, none of us really expected we would pull back after only a few brief visits and that it would be a half century at least before we returned yet again. Now, let's move from the...

ONOTO The Pen
(Preview)
I have now stripped down the two Onoto BHR plunger fillers that I acquired at the weekend. Both require washers and seals and will present an interesting challenge. Both have normal 14ct nibs and standard feeds and both pens are exactly alike except one has a no3 nib and the other a no3/st. The 'st is sho...

Conway Stewart 58 - A Real Sleeper
(Preview)
I suppose I should have asked Sem about this pen in a new Topic. I'll correct the mistake here. I picked up this little guy at an Antique Store in Pasadena, California for 35 dollars. A new sac and a little bit of cleaning brought it to this condition. If anyone is looking for a daily user with a flex nib...

Size does count
(Preview)
Please tell me what Swan this is. I suspect it may be an eye dropper. The only way to get ink into it is to unscrew it and pour ink in. I does not seen to have place for an inksak. It does have a gigantic nib, broad italic with a lot of flex and writes like a paintbrush. [URL=https://i416.photobucket.com/alb...
