Agent Carter Fountain Pens

[Parker51]

I am watching the premier of Agent Carter which takes place in 1946. So far I have spotted a green striped Sheaffer and an Eversharp, as well as a variety of other pens I have not been able to identify. So, what have you spotted so far?

I'm embarassed to say I forgot all about this show. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm embarrassed to say I watched the show and somehow did not notice the fountain pens. What is wrong with me? <smile>

 

Cheers,

Haven't watched Agent Carter, but I remember this particular item fondly: http://larryfire.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/10_4f-slip.jpg

 

It's from the first Captain America movie (taking place during WWII), and the writing on the form was clearly made using a flexy italic nib...gorgeous!

Ha, just noticed Cap's birthdate.

 

How could it be anything else?

I tuned in last night, but the quality of the local cable signal was such that the program as a whole was dark and blurry, and small details were lost. I was able to determine they were using pens--writing instruments not pencils--but the pens all looked the same, like metal-tipped sticks.

 

Can't say that the program really grabbed me, even putting the image quality aside.

Me too, I never knew that! Thanks for posting.

 

It seems like everyone wrote a bit smaller in the Marvel Universe; it's good that Howard Stark is in this show. Here's a shot of Howard's notes about the discovery of Vibranium (from Iron Man 2005):

I watched the show and looked for the fountain pens, but didn't really spot any. What does that say about *me*?

Didn't anyone catch the Parker desk lamp? OK, I was hoping it was a Sheaffer.

During the first episode I spotted an Eversharp pencil and some pens I could not identify....

[Miz Black Crow]

Have to say, I had MUCH more interesting things to pay attention to with the show than the pens involved. Great opener, and I can only hope it gets even better. 1940s feminist spy/double-agent show? Count me IN.

I think I saw an Eversharp Fifth Avenue in the box of Captn America stuff .....

Right? Digging the show, but it didn't even occur to me to look for pens.

I'm pretty sure I saw someone in the first episode using a Reynolds BP. If so, someone on their set decoration staff is not being paid half of what they're worth.

In this week's episode, one of the characters mentions having *lost* a fountain pen.

Chief Dooley has an Esterbrook Dipless #444 on his desk and what looks like a Skyline pencil in his pen cup.

In a recent episode the stern lady that heads The Griffith hotel used this FP:

 

 

Here's another look:

I saw Dottie use a red one, no breather hole.

This one looks a lot like the one in post #17:

 

 

The nib is very dirty and could give the impression of not having a breather hole.
