Joseph Gibert is not just a book and stationary store in Paris. Once it made fountain pens with its name. The following is an advertisement from a "cahier" purchased in Paris in 1936 by José Gaos, disciple of Ortega y Gasset, prolific translator of German philosophy into Spanish, a philosopher himself and renowned teacher of philosophy, exiled in Mexico in 1938. In 1936-1937 he was commissioned to Paris and other countries by the government of the Spanish Republic during the Civil War.

 

Does anyone has seen, or possess, one of these interesting Joseph Gibert stylos? Something to say about them? I would love to see a real one, and more of course to be able to write a line with it!!

I had no idea they made pens. I used to spend hours in the two Joseph Giberts on Saint Michel and loved their notebooks.

I have never seen Giber tJoseph pens i nreal life but if teh yexist they must be very very rare

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Yes, it seems they are very very rare. Nobody has shown one here! I would love to see one.

I started collecting pens in Paris in 1965 and I believe the pen is not necessarily made by Joseph Gibert.

The ring in the barrel is often used in French pens... Paillard, Bayard, Edacoto and Waterman, I remember a Stylo O Chap with the same gold ring in the barrel. It was also common that pen makers printed the name of a particular client to sell in their shop, specially a stationary... I guess that is why in the advertising the "Points" line, reads: ordinaires, J, Carrées, Obliques. J is a special nib for calligraphy. Carrées meaning no doubt Stub and ordinaires F, M, B... which you certainly know. The clip and the cap top (which reminds me of Mallat) has to be a key to find which manufacturer it was...

Sounds clever and likely. It would be great that someone could tell us the manufacturer, or show us a real sample of a "Joseph Gibert" pen. I know nothing about french pens, excepting Watermans...

If you look for "Bayard" in the search section, you will find an amazing amount of nice French pens that had been shown here...

I will keep my eye on the Joseph Gibert, I am almost certain Bayard or Mallat made it.

      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
