Majestic FPs

[Guest]

Greeting Fellow Ink Brothers and Sisters,

 

I have pulled from the collection a Green Majestic Fountain Pen with a fine 14k Nib. I got it on a trade and I have not had the chance to use it much. I took it out and gave it a good flush, the ink was well saturated in the bladder and gave the first inking a plae gold effect when using browns. I inked it with MB Sepia for giggles and took it to paper. It has a nice feel and the nib has some flex. However, I have not seen Majestics before on the boards. Does anyone know about the company, years it was in production and the like? I will post a couple of photos to show the pen to you all. I like it, but a little too fine for my monster hand. So any info would be appreciated!

 

Cheers

Hey Angelo-

 

I can't tell you much about the history of the brand, but will say some of the Majestic pens I have are actually pretty well built pens, some with 14kt nibs and very nice plastics. An interesting note is some of the later 40's striped plastic versions are roughly the same size as esterbrook and can take an esterbrook section. I got a red Majestic one year from my grandmother for my birthday and it didn't have a section. I popped in an esterbrook section and nib and it writes great, with the ability to swap out nibs at a whim. Bonus, it looks awfully like the more expensive red visumaster I have.

 

I have a *small* collection of them myself and they can be fun to collect.

 

Enjoy!

Brian
