Here's a recent antique store find that just came back from being restored. I believe it's from the 50's.

Great colour.

 

 

What does the nib say? And is there something on the bottom of the pen?

A bit earlier than the 50's I think. By then the top of the clip was a bit more ornate, I'd say 40's. Lovely colour though.

That's a pretty thorough version of the impression; without any real evidence for it, I'd say earlier rather than later as well.

Thanks for the extra info. The person that did the restoration was guessing 50's.

 

No marking on the bottom of the barrel.

 

The nib says waterman's ideal 14kt

I love the color too. Otherwise, that pen looks exactly like the light gray 1940's Stalwart my grandfather left me... that I originally thought was an Estie. :)

 

It's actually a very nice writer for a reasonably inexpensive pen too.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
