Cs Belliver

[fpnerd]

Where can I still purchase a Belliver from? Does anyone know whether exclusivepens.co.uk is an authorised distributor of Conway Stewart?

Try Bryant at Chatterley Luxuries. Ships back to UK & had some close outs awhile back.

Bryant has all the LE #1 editions too!

Mary, I've noticed this on Bryant's website. In fact I have #100/100 on a CS Churchill Excalibur with the C/C filler.

 

Does Bryant have exclusivity with CS on all #1 LE's?

No - he doesn't - We (Vanness) now have a few- and Francis in the UK also has a few -

You have a few Conway Stewart Belliver pens or do you mean you have Conway Stewarts pens in general?

 

If Belliver, what do you have left?

There is a Meteor Belliver for sale on EBay right now. From Mary Burke. Quite a beautiful color and pen.

Thanks

I saw a Meteor Duo but no Belliver? Must have sold already.

I checked on EBay and the pen (Belliver Meteor) did not sell. It may come up again as relisted, but the seller was Mary Burke (one of the mods here) so you may want to try and contact her by PM, and see if she will sell it it outright if you're interested. I think the color Meteor is fantastic (though I have only seen photos), and it may be your last chance to get one. It is a brand new in the box with all the paperwork pen with a medium nib, selling for $590 USD I think, though she may give a better deal. Doesn't hurt to ask.

 

No affiliation, etc. I do own two Bellivers, and they are among my favorite fountain pens.

Thank you again, I will try to contact her.

The new CS's on eBay are usually grossly overpriced. LE Bellivers sold for $395 new within the last year.

[______Zaphod_Beeblebrox]

That what you get when a company goes bankrupt and the pens are no longer being made.

 

If I could still buy one thru regular dealers I would but all I have contacted no longer have any Bellivers in stock and you cannot order them for obvious reasons.

[dneal]

The ones I see are from the same vendors, at the same (exorbitant) prices as before the demise of CS. True, some folks are trying to leverage the "out of business" angle to maximize their profits; but those pens just aren't worth it.

 

I have a soft spot for CS, despite my better judgement. I ordered a "new" 58 (one of the last ones they made before they went belly-up), which got here yesterday. It went back today. The inner cap wasn't big enough for the nib.

 

I'm gonna stick with the old ones, I think, although my offer was accepted for this 58.

The NOS Belliver, in meteor color, has been relisted on eBay again today, by Mary. Is nobody interested? I have two, certainly my favorite pens, and would snag this one too if I could. Shame to see it not sold...

[______Zaphod_Beeblebrox]

I am interested, but I bought a Conway Stewart Britannia when I could not find the Belliver earlier. May later this year she will still have it.
