Warwick pens? I was at an antique store and picked up a cheap plastic lever filler stamped Warwick.I picked it up because I didn't have a lever filler yet and ignorance breeds fear. I tried a quick intenet search and found nothing except references to place name. I figured they weren't a big name, and I know the pen is mnot worth a whole lot (maybe not even the $6 Ipaid) I am just curious as to the history of it. Any leads appreciated.

Full Version: Warwick ??
Sorry I can't help you Kj, but congrats on your first lever-filler! 
Weird coincidence: Back in in Feb 2003, someone on the Zoss list asked about more info on a Warwick pen he had (link here), but I don't see any responses to the question....
I looked on Zoss again, and at this other link
you will see a mention of some Stratford "Warwick" fountain pens (5th paragraph down), but I don't know if they are "related" to your pen....
Hopefully Rob or George or someone else can fill us in....

Rob, thank you for your post...I like your digressions
A while back, you and I were e-mailing each other about that Eclipse pen co. question I had (I had recently "discovered" some lesser-known Eclipse brands) and you commented that many pen companies made "off-shoot" brands (such as Stratford pens made by Salz). It's an interesting subject....I wonder how many actual pen manufacturers (as opposed to brands) there were in the U.S....
PS. Is there anything below 5th tier?
I have a tiny little ivory-coloured Welsharp lever-filler that I got for about $6 USD....Is that made by the Welsh pen co.?

Can I bring this thread back to life?
I've just received a Warwick pen I bought on impulse on Ebay for less than $5. It's fairly pleasant to look at, reasonably utilitarian, but has a nice fine nib (and that comes from someone who rarely praises fine nibs!) and writes extremely well. Anyone have any ideas?
Here are the pics from the auction -
