That looks like one of the many second or third tier pens and may have been made by the US Fountain Pen Company. Is the nib a warranted 14K one?

I have a Diamond Medal, sold by Sears, Roebuck and Co., which is identical to this pen, except mine has three cap bands. My pen is a 'demi'-sized pen - most likely a ladies' size. It was one of many house brands made by National Pen Products. NPP was located in Chicago, at the time, tho'.

 

Take Care,

Thanks J.R. and jar for the info!

Here is other pic with the gold nib. Yes, the nib is a 14k warranted one.

 

Do any of you know how much is the value of this pen in the market?

 

Thanks again!

Maybe $20.00 or so if already restored and with a new sac.

Maybe a bit more for a dealer that would guarantee the restoration. Is the nib flexible? That can hike up the price a bit too.

FWIW, I paid $35 for mine, restored to a very good condition, new sac and smoothed nib. I collect "house brand" pens, so it fit right in. (And, it's a great writing pen, too).

 

Looking at the nib of your pen, these pens are twins - except for the cap bands, of course.

 

Take care,

J.R.

      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
