Onoto 6236 Clip

[WhiteStarPens]

I've recently picked up a black engraved Onoto 6236 - the shorter variety - without its gold chevron TDLR clip, would anyone have any spares that might be purchased?

 

Also, if anyone can tell me a bit about this particular model I'd be very grateful.

 

Once restoration is complete I will make a before and after style post.

 

All the best,

Based on looking at two of my 62xx pens, the short and long versions seem to have differed only in section (and cap) length, keeping the rest of the construction uniform. With other models and to some extent the 62xx, Onoto seems to differentiate models solely by number and width of gold bands, it otherwise being the same pen. However, the 6235 and 6236 also changed the nibs. I do not have a 6236 but a couple of 6235 on which the No 5 nib is nearly as good as the No 7 on the Magna.

 

There were three series of the 62xx, early and late 1930s, and late 1940s. Almost all that I have seen (and all of mine) are third series with opaque barrels.

 

No spare clips, sorry.

Thanks Praxim, I'm looking forward to seeing how it writes. Do you have any long/ short models to compare? I'd be interested to see the difference between them, if you had any handy. I think my pen is the short version.

sounds an interesting project coming up - hope you have success in finding a donor clip. Am sure Steve Hull would love to sell you a copy of his wonderful Onoto pen book:-)
