Hello All,

 

All you need to do to win is identify which model Conway Stewarts these pens are.

 

The first correct entry wins. Just put the model number next to the pen number as shown in the pic. ie:-

 

1 = 123

2 = 815 etc...

 

Good luck to All. I shall advise the prize once the winner has been found.

 

If you don't want to show your best guess PM me instead. I'll go by time received to determine the winner.

 

Gary

No. 1 = CS100

No. 2 = CS58

No. 3 = CS22

No. 4 = CS27

No. 5 = CS477

No. 6 = CS476

 

I'm quite confident on some of those, others are a bit of a guess.

Some very.. very... close guesses.

 

With the uncapped pen you will need to check the section ?. ;) That's why the pic is uncapped.

We have a WINNER. OldGriz well done.

 

I have given a little leeway on the identity of Q 5. It could have been a Duro 20 or 30 button filler. The sections used varied from slightly squared off to thin-ish ridge at the end.

 

OldGriz will be getting a CS 57 with matching pencil in "pea green". Congrats.

 

I'll have to make the next comp more difficult.

wow, you guys know your Conway Stewarts! Or was it a case of the fastest to look it up? I'm impressed. The prize isn't too shabby either.

Hi Gary,

 

Great quiz!

 

I didn't get further than 2 of those pens, so I just left it to people more knowledgeable than I am :D.

 

And congratulations to OldGriz!

 

Warm regards, Wim

Thank you Gary for a fun contest that really taxed my search abilities and my eyesight ....

This prize will be my 7 yr old daughter's first collectable pen set....

She sat with me for over 3 hours going through different sites we found on Google to try to ID the pens in question... She had a ball doing it...

I am definately not a Conway Stewart authority, LOL... but did get a good idea of the pens that the company has made over the years.... and the prices that good collectables are worth...

BTW, when I told her we won this morning.... she was very excited and said she was going to tell her teacher about how we spent time on the computer together looking for pens...

Thanks again.....

 

BTW, this is where we spent a whole lot of time last night...

      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
