Is Conway Stewart Bankrupt? Other British Brands Still Alive?

[Morbus Curiositas]

I just read the topic Conway Stewart in administration....

 

It said it demised....

 

Has Conway Stewart deceased? Is It bankrupt

 

Hope not and they will be back in the future... Otherwise I will have to save for an Onoto.... also nice

 

Maybe that is why they are not listed at La Couronne Du Comte anymore...

 

 

What other British Fountain Pen makers are there who are still alive?

 

I only now Onoto and Yard-O-Led

I just read this news paper article

It is sort of in a coma... In administration for the second tme in four years

 

But the articles says that there are potential buyers for Conway Stewart

 

I pray to Mother Mary (Burke ) for that

Factory and contents sold off. Staff of 4 made redundant. Maybe someone will buy the name otherwise "end of story".

Please conduct any discussions about the present situation of Conway Stewart in the topic: "Conway Stewart in Administration"

And discussions about the name of the forum in the topic by that name.

 

Other companies are Onoto, Dunhill, Yard-o-led, Italix (although production elsewhere) and possibly some smaller private makers.

But there is a host of older makers, like Mabie Todd, Wyvern, Platignum (I have seen some new ones a few years back) etc.

 

 

Closing this topic now to keep discussions in one place.
