Do You Know This Pen's Brand And Model Name?

[Aysen]

Do you know this pen's brand and model name?

This pen is about 80 - 90 years old. It has a clear window for to see the piston. Nib and the feeder goes directly to the pen. I want to buy another one of this pen. Would you help me about that?

[Bo Bo Olson]

Cap and clip?....need a tighter shot of the nib...or what does it say on the nib?

[Aysen]

It has a cap but clip had changed with different pen. So the cap, the clip and the fountain pen says nothing about its brand.

[Aysen]

The nib also changed with another one. Now it is Pelikan.

[Bo Bo Olson]

A genuwine....no name with all those changes.... no way to know.

A Frankie 2.0. It looks like a late '30's to post war German pen.

If it writes well, your good to go.

 

How many pens do you have?

I don't want to send you down the Vintage semi-flex path.....in I don't know when your Pelikan nib is from..........don't know if you are ready for semi-flex pens of that era.

My view is that at 80-90 years you are over-estimating the age, right back to the birth of piston fillers. It looks to me at least late 1940s or more likely 1950s. I base that on the seal and piston styles. As for identification, if the pen will not help with some markings then it is difficult to say. I do not know any wholly unmarked vintage pens.

[Tweel]

Yes, it has a 1950s style plastic seal.

 

I seem to see some sort of imprint on the barrel. What does it say?

[chunya]

I also think that I can see some sort of imprint on the barrel, but could be an illusion.

 

A few years back I had an almost identical, completely unmarked pen, which I just had to put down to being a 1950s unknown German. All I knew for certain was it was late 1940's early 1950s as it was given to me by an old friend who actually bought it in Switzerland in 1952. I finally gave it to a family member who promptly lost it.

I'm not up on the guts of a piston filler, I was going by the piston knob for my guess of late '30-to post war.

To me the thing that matters is the age of the Pelikan nib.

A better picture of it could be helpful there are those who can tell.

With so many changes already the piston might also have changed, who knows. With mine the seal was 'gone' and I had a spare MB piston that fitted onto the old spindle perfectly, and also made a great seal. When they told me they'd lost the pen the MB piston was the only regret I had.

The barrel and the piston is original we know that. There is no sign on the barrel, all had gone in years. I can be wrong about it's age. This pen's owner said that there was a cork in the piston but in years it goes bad so he changed it with a plastic. I heard some thing about this fountain pen and want to share you. Maybe this will be helpful for you to find it's brand. This pen's owner said that Adolf Hitler wanted a solid pen which is not broken under a car's wheel, will not dry if it's open in a few days. So they make this pen. In 1950's this pen was everywhere and everyone could buy. Sorry my English is not very good. But i try to tell.

Sounds like the precursor to the Parker PIF "45" experimental..which never went into production.

But I became absolutely lost at the mention of Der Furher...................................

Was that a Bug or 356?

Let me fill in some blanks. The letters "VW" refer to the German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen. The company first incarnation, in 1937, was as an initiative of the German Labor Front, an activity of the Nazi party.

 

It is very well documented that Hitler (among others) desired that Germans of modest income should be able to afford to buy a car, and Hitler did act to make his wish a reality. Not only was the car to be manufactured, there would be a savings plan so that the prospective buyer could at last afford a car. There had been several design projects to create such a car, and a design by Ferdinand Porsche was the one chosen.

 

The name "Porsche" leads us to "356," which is noteworthy model of the Porsche sports car series.

 

Whether Hitler also initiated a product for a volkisch Fueller is a subject upon which I must remain silent. But FPN has some German members who are no longer young, and we may hear something further.

[Aysen]

Thank you for describing me VW and 356. I learned their meanings with your polite answer.

 

" The fountain pen which is not broken under car's wheels" and " The fountain pen which will not dry when it's cap open for a few days". Could these be posible in 1940 - 1950 s?

And now is there any fountain pen like that?

You said " Hitler also initiated a product for a volkisch Fueller." It is a pen isnt it? I would like to learn much more about it.

Please do not mis-quote. Jerome said "Whether Hitler [etc]" which makes it quite a different statement.

 

If, as you say in your post #11,

"In 1950's this pen was everywhere and everyone could buy"

then why are there none around, other than your claimed one?

Why would it be wholly unbranded?

 

Just curious.

I want this questions answers so i started this topic here. Is there anyone have this pen? Is there anyone know this pen's brand? Is the story a heard about this pen is true or not? Why no one wants to talk about? Is there any secret that i couldn't understand?
