Liberty Ruthenium Fountain Pen

[nade93]

Hi All

 

Apologies if this thread is in the wrong place. I am hoping someone could help me.

 

I have come into possession of a Liberty Fountain pen with Ruthenium Point. Unfortunately thats all I can tell you apart from the fact it works.

 

I have attached pictures. A google search has left me non the wiser as to the nature of this pen, wether it is classed as vintage, its value, its notoriety or it is just a really nice pen etc.

 

Can anyone help please?

 

Thanks in advance!

I am not familiar with the brand,but beyond what you may find here on fpn by doing a search, a google search turns up several hits elsewhere.

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. I fear I've never heard of Liberty pens and have no idea what a Ruthenium Point might be or why one would be wanted.

Judging by the typography it's likely to be one sold by the famous Liberty store in London, who was one of the most instrumental players in Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movement. Of course Liberty does not do the manufacturing so it was made by someone else. My gut feeling is that it's of decent quality but not of an example of great virtuosity in the art of pen making.
