Dreweatts Bloomsbury Vintage Pen Auction 30Th April 2014

You have probably seen the ad for our auction on 30th April here on FPN


The sale listing should go live on our website early next week, and we will post the link here when the sale is live.


The sale contains 266 lots of wonderful Vintage Fountain Pens, like the Parker, Vacumatic, Major, a burgandy pearl, circa 1934, shown below. Many of the pens are from the Andreas Lambrou Collection, as illustrated in "Fountain Pens Of The World', and were purchased by the vendor in 1996 at the Bonhams sale of the Lambrou collection. The sale also includes several other privately entered collections.


The pre-sale estimates for the lots are very conservative, with prices starting from around £40.

Hi Drone

 

The FPN link to the website is only temporarily to the Pen Section of our website as the actual sale listing won't go live until early next week. We are still furiously cataloguing and photographing all the lots.

 

As soon as the catalogue is live on the website I will let everyone know here in this forum (and on my blog) the link on FPN will take you straight to the sale listing - please bear with us whilst we finish getting the sale ready for everyone to look at.

 

In the meantime thank you for your interest, and I am sure you will like what we have in the sale. I will post a few more of my favorite pens from the sale to give everyone previews of what is in the sale.

HI all,

We should have the catalogue finally published on our website tomorrow, and I will post the links as soon as the catalogue is available. The advert on the main FPN page will also go live straight to the auction.


In the meantime here is another pen from the sale. This time it's a Conway Stewart, Executive 60, Cracked Ice, a black and grey fountain pen, circa 1949, estimated at £40 - 60

Hi Holygrail.

 

Was just having a look at your catalogue - some nice pieces indeed. A shame that you do not include pictures of the nibs though. I wont be able to get to a viewing and the auction. I might have considered a commission bid or 2 but cannot risk it with at least seeing a photo of the nib. Food for thought for the next auction perhaps?

HI Da Vinci

 

Thank you for your feedback - I will ask the photographers to remember that for future sales.

 

If you want any additional images, closes ups of nibs etc from this (or any of our sales), we will happily provide them along with detailed condition reports. If you send any condition and additional image requests directly to the department on the e-mail address below, my colleagues will send you all the information and images you need;

Hope you find something interesting amongst all those lots!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
