Pen Identification

[Jojobou]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm new to the group and fountain pens so apologies for any faux pas.

 

I have this fountain pen. I think it came from my wife's grandmother but I'm not certain. I don't think it has been used. It came in this box along with a ball point, a converter a refill for the ball point and two nibs: one that fits cartridge and the other fits the converter. Size of both points look the same.

 

 

There are no inscriptions on the pen. The only inscription is on the nib where it says Iridium Point Germany.

 

 

Here is another picture of components.

 

 

Both pen are blue with a marble design . Would anyone know what kind of pen this is?

 

Thanks!

 

Joel.

It looks similar to a pen I saw once that was called "La Plume" but I'm not sure that's the name of the company.

It looks like a cheap Chinese pen. 'Iridium Point Germany' is commonly used on nameless nibs made in Asia (Germany doesn't mean that it was made in Germany, or in Europe for that matter.) I would imagine that "Shelley, Executive Collection" is just another line of products from the illustrious brand known as "No-Name".

Yes probably Chinese - still, it may be a nice writer. Have you tried cleaning it and inking it up?

It's trying very hard to look like a Waterman {Indecipherable Mumble} of the late '70s or early '80s. I'd concur with the idea of giving it a clean and a fill; if it writes well, then the answer to "What is it?" is "A fountain pen I like" and that's good enough sometimes.
