Recommended Posts

hello all, I hope you are having an amazing day now on to the pen. The best I can make out of this pen is that it has the elmo inscription making it a Montegrappa pen but other than that I have no clue on what else it is any information would be helpful pictures will be included in the links provided.

After emailing montegrappa themselves i received this answer

 

"thank you for the pics. The pen is a “Elmo” regular FP of the 30ies in celluloid. One of the first pens to be produced in celluloid."

 

I wanted to include this for the future in case someone had the same pen

 

Have a lovely day,

:thumbup: A '30's pen. :happyberet:

 

I lucked into three Boehlers from the '30's....same as the Osmia's but the brothers split the company in '38. Those are the only '30's pens I have. And a '38 Vac.

 

'40-43? I do have a three-four German 'War' pens, missing the cap ring, in between when the war really started and the German's stopped making fountain pens in May of '43, they saved metal by making a pressed imprint where a cap ring would have been.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

:o I would love to see photos of them. I feel more how do i say this old pens have more "character" and feel proper than new ones. I'm a still a novice on Fountain pens but i have a few new pens but, i tend to be more favoriting older pens.

      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
