Mercury fountain pen

[lensassaman]

I've got an ugly green and yellow cartridge-fill pen with the brand name "Mercury" stamped on the nib (and a stylized M on the clip). Anyone ever heard of this brand? I'm having trouble finding anything on Google about it. Not sure where it came from -- it turned up in a bag of misc. pens I was unpacking (mostly BIC's).

Hi, I don't know if you still have the pen, but I recently bought a Century pen, made out of celluloid. Another seller (on a forum) noted that Mercury was established in 1948 in Belgium by Louis Dammaerts and he wanted Mercury to become am premium pen brand. I haven't had a chance to verify this. Since you are from Belgium it could be that you've found a vintage Mercury. 

 

This is what I found about Mercury in the later years: https://www.bruzz.be/economie/laatste-pennenfabrikant-laat-moed-niet-zakken-2006-06-09

Happened to acquire Mercury-Aero EF pen just yesterday. Now I know that it is from Belgium.

I found two Mercury fountain pens at a flea market. I was just starting out with old fountain pens and need a couple of replacement nibs. The nibs themselves are Mercury brand and are made in Germany. The pens themselves are made in Italy. They have a hooded nib cover and look like excellent pens. I have found that getting replacement nibs for fountain pens is very difficult. If anyone knows how to get replacement nibs, just the metal nib itself, please reply. The nibs are 4mm in diameter with a straight curve and no flair. They are 22 mm long. Anything fitting that description would probably work.
