Hey all, any ideas about this pen? Another pen from my granddad's tub of old pens.

 

I can't see any written branding on it nor on the nib. It's got an unusual feel on the blue parts. Maybe just a cheapy perhaps. Does have a broken nib. Takes normal ink cartridges.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cannot speak to the brand. But, is a pretty pen. If a cartridge/converter, may not be that difficult to do a frankenpen.

 

Best of luck to you.

Yours,

The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

I would try an image search for that graphic, to see if it was a company logo.

 

Poor nib!

Yeah I did think this too but I didn't know how to word it in a search. :unsure:

Put the picture itself into a Google Image search.

I would venture a guess that the logo on the pen is a company logo and the pen was given away at a conference or other business function. It has a similar cap and grip section to some of the older Parkers.

Yes, it looks like either one of the assembled fountain pens that you buy in a kit or one that was mass produced for some event or to be given away. It's a fountain pen that may write fairly well although I would no longer buy one with all the Chinese and Indian pens that can be (on a selective basis) decent.

Hello Inkybex,

 

I may be reaching by a mile - but to me, the blue parts look like felt; that is an unusual material to put on a pen. I would check textile companies or billiard table manufacturers and their suppliers for that logo.

 

Good luck,

 

Chris

Also, remember when spray-on 'granite' finish was everywhere? It may be that or it may be flocking. The OP could tell us for sure.

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Hello SK,

 

Yes - I do remember those days - middle to late '90s if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps Krylon was a corporate co-sponsor. :D

 

Yeah, hopefully the OP will chime in with more details.

 

Best regards,

 

Chris

Hey all thanks for the response! I really haven't got a clue what material it is. It does feel like a fine felt. I've tried to google image search the logo but it just came up with sunsets(!?) haha What I've done is sent my granddad a message to ask if he remembers when/where he got it and I'll post detail back here if I find out anything :)

      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
