I picked this up at an antiques store yesterday. It was in with a bunch of school pens. But it's the first I've seen with a conical nib rather than an open nib.

 

Looked in the Sheaffer Family Album but didn't find it there. Any clue?

 

Thanks,

 

Andrew

The early cartridge pens with rounded ends came in some different varieties. Some had plastic caps, some had conical nibs. They aren't seen nearly as often but they are out there.

It looks like the same one I posted last week. A member identified it as one of the many "Skripsert" varieties. I like mine very much!

Cool! I was on vacation last week and missed the right posts, I guess.

 

Thanks!

I like the color!

My other pen is a Montblanc.

I think it might be a Skripsert 500 from the late 50's.

If it's got a gold nib and cap it's an 875 Cartridge Pen, if chrome and a palladium silver nib, it's a 500 Cartridge Pen, that's the names used in the August, 1959 catalog and Service Manual. They did call them Skripserts in advertising, which the earliest I have is 1958. I have ads for them going out to at least 1960.

      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..

      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
