Invento Large Pen With Monte Grappa Nib

[tspyropo]

Hi there, I have missed out on a large novelty (?) fountain pen a couple of times now and want to learn more about it and see if I can find one for sale? I have some pictures, but it appears to be either an eye dropper or work with a cartridge and has the word "Invento" embossed on it. It's black and chrome and is about 9" long.

 

Any info? Info on where to buy? Any for sale here?

 

Thanks...Terry

That's pretty cool. Can't help you with that, but there are quite a few Indian made pens that are pretty big. Good writers, too.

thanks...pretty fixated on this one...can't believe no one out there has seen or heard of these? Wonder if there is any way to connect with FPN members from Italy? Maybe they would know?

Okay, I'm new at this....is there any advice you can offer on what to ask or how to target the question?

 

Thanks.

I just remembered I posted a question last year in this forum....still no responses. I understand that the pen is Italian...would that help in terms of who I should ask?

Yeah, go to the italian pens subforum and ask there. Also try pentrace and maybe even http://www.zoss.com/pens/

 

good luck! i'm very interested to hear more about it. if you learn anything would you post back here?

It appears to be a Montegrappa "Jumbo", black plastic, CC filler, chrome plated trim, steel nib,c.1950ish ...

 

or another oversize Montegrappa "Elmo", black plastic, button filler, chrome plated trim,steel nib,c.1950ish.

 

Hope this helps,

Thanks Fred...I guess looking for a larger pen is probably considered silly, but I find it interesting to look for these odd pens...would still love to have one if anyone ever sees or hears of one.
