I Find The Darnedest Things - Strand "multi - Vac-Fil" Posting Pen

[Apothic]

Hey Guys,

 

Hunting for pens is a thrill that not any one of us could probably explain to someone else. BUT there's another thrill, within the thrill. Finding a unique pen that you cannot wrap your mind around in that one moment. If you're anything like me, you'll buy it and scram - later to do extensive research.

 

Well, I am stumped. This pen is unsearchable.

 

The nib has:

 

POSTING

__________

 

PANLY

HARDEST POINT

2

 

When search "panly" i often get autocorrected to Pansy or Panty.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Can you clarify the barrel stamp markings, which might be more revealing than the nib details.

Well now, ain't that cool?

 

It's possible you may want to try this on the Japanese board - Panly (scroll down).

 

 

 

Panly: (Nihon Mannenhitsu Seizosho, Gumma) Pens marked "Panly & Co. Tokyo". Nibs seen on pens by many small makers.

 

Cheers, Al

Dunno anything to help you -- but that pen is seriously wicked cool....

Mostly when I go out antiquing I find Sheaffer school pens, the occasional Snorkel, or random third tier and no-name pens. Or vastly overpriced Watermans.

There is no barrel imprint. I'll get into that Japanese Company and see what's up.

 

Thanks dudes.
