Help Identifying Eclipse (Accidental Duplicate)


brandonsandy

Recommended Posts

I recently visited an antique shop in California and found this ladies pen for $15. I'm almost certain that it's an eclipse based on the wreath on the lever, but beyond that I know almost nothing about this pen. The sac was totally destroyed so it definitely needs some repairs, but it shouldn't be too bad. The nib seems to simply be folded at the tip and is gold plated steel (however, when the nib is all the way in the section, the word "PLATE" is hidden; sneaky move by Eclipse!) I was just wondering if anybody knew anything else about this pen? Thank you for your help!

The Eclipse Pen Co. history spans almost 50 years from 1905 to about 1955 in both The States and Canada. In that time a lot of pens happened. You haven’t given much to work with. A pic would greatly help. Lacking that, what is:

The shape of the pen?
The color of the pen?
What is the material?
How is it finished?
…are there end caps
…is it crowned
…is/are there bands on the cap
…on the barrel
The shape of the clip. What imprint? Does it even have a clip, or is it a ring-top?
What else is imprinted on the nib?
Is the lever in a box?

And Morrison, among others, also used a wreath on the lever spoon.

Is see that you are new to this board, and possibly new to fountain pens. Some of the descriptive terminology commonly used may be unfamiliar to you. A pic is worth…

      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
