Rexall Pen...who Made It?

I recently purchased a Rexall Pocket Pen. In looking for more information I checked the patent # on the cap (969198) and found that it had been issued to William W. Sanford and patented in 1910. The pen is a CBHR eye dropper filler. In reading about Rexall pens I found reference to Moore and Kraker as manufacturers of Rexall pens but nothing about Sanford Pen Co. manufacturing for Rexall. Was someone else using the Sanford patent or does it mean that the Sanford Pen Co. manufactured my pen?

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

You are correct that Moore and Kraker, among others manufactured pens for Rexall over the years. If you could post a photo of your pen, I could perhaps identify the maker. I am not aware of Waterman or Sanford and Bennett producing pens for them.

Phil,

 

I'll bring it to the next P.E.N.S. meeting ,weather permitting. If I have time I will post a photo of the pen so others here can see what I am talking about.

 

Your blog on pen repair is a favorite. Check my topic on Q&A Pen Repair about the bow legged nib...any suggestions?

I have a couple of photos of the pen. Perhaps they will help in identifying the manufacturer. Also there is a number 14 on the end of the barrel and the nib is a Warranted 14 Karat 4 nib.

Joel,

 

I will look forward to seeing this one at the meeting on the 15th. No guess yet, but possibly a Boston product by De Witt La France? I am not aware of any Eyedroppers that Kraker made. Maybe someone else will chime in.

 

See you soon.

 

Phil

      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
