Guess the pen :)

Guess the pen of this ad. It would be more fun if you provide some (semirational:)) justification for your guess.

I don't know what the pen is but I'd really like to know what the family pictured is doing!!

Ermmm...Sheaffer No-nonsense?

[antoniosz]

Bobr - early version of the macarena?

 

Kissing - No, sorry - it is about 30 years earlier

conklin?-i think you can read it on one of the barrels, unless my eyes deceive me; the script is right, but they sure don't look like any conklin i know or have

I also think I can read the barrel and I think it says Chilton Pen and if it does I think it is an ad for the Chilton Boston. The dance might be the Bristol Stomp...but I'm not sure

If they dont look like a Conklin, they are not Conklin ;-)

Don't know about the pen, but I'll have whatever the people in the picture are drinking!

Ummmm, just a wild guess...Charleston Pens, and the people are dancing charleston? The women's dresses look kind of rolling 20s

 

But the blurred pen name looks much longer...

Looks like a Chilton to me as well.

 

The high barrel threads, indicative of a Boston Chilton are a give-away, as can be faintly made out, the Chilton imprint on the pen barrels. Clip styles are Boston Chilton looking. I would guess the ad is from 1926-1927 perhaps? I have never seen it in my collecting of such stuff.

 

Nice find.

 

I go some wild wingflow ads to share, if anyone wants to see them.

 

Antonios, can you send me a copy of the ad, via e-mail?

Well done George! (are you greek?)

 

Rick, what can I say? Just Chilton Boston 1927? I was expecting exact model and even color from you

December of 1927, indeed!.. Check your e-mail and thank you for posting.
