This morning I purchased 3 sets ( pen & pencil) of 1930's Statedtler Safety pens. I have looked through all my bibles on fountain pens and there is no mention of Staedtler. These came in a box dated Dec 11 1930 and the box was from Staedtler and the box was marked Trade Samples Not For Sale... I don't know if you can post pictures to this site as I am a new member..today..but I would love for people to see them. If you know where I can look them up please let me know. I have gone to Staedtler for info and hope they respond. TY

Hi,

Those are probably pens made specially for Staedtler (So called buy-in products). (I asked Staedtler about his years ago, and that's what they tell me) Staedtler never actually had facilities to make fountain pens, or so they tell me.

I have a Staedtler fountain pen, which is a black piston filler pen. I'd post a photo, but the pen is currently in Richard Binder's queue for refurbishing. My notes are:

4290 J.S. STAEDTLER "TRADITION" FOUNTAIN PEN. MEASURES CLOSED 4 7/8" LONG OR 123MM LONG. MARKED ON THE CLIP "TRADITION" AND ON THE BARREL "4290 J.S. STAEDTLER, MARS." 14CT GOLD NIB MARKED "MARS."
