Mabie Todd Links On The Internet

[MarcShiman]

Here's a short list of links I've found up to now. Please feel free to add in reply, and I'll update the list.

• www.mabie-todd.com - David Moak's site. This is the foundation knowledge we have on Mabie Todd in America.
• http://oldfrog.free.fr/Stylos/Swan%20Chart.pdf - This is a chart of British Swans number schemes. I'm not sure who this belongs to, but I sense its someone I know
• http://www.mabietoddpenlists.co.uk/index.html - again, mostly dedicated to British pens, this is an ambitious effort to catalog Mabie Todd pens
• http://thefountainpencommunity.activeboard.com/…/mabie-tod…/ - this is one of the only online posts that have Mabie Todd catalogs that I can find. There's a 1921 12-pager and a 1926 4-pager
• http://goodwriterspens.com/category/mabie-todd/ - Deb's blog has a bunch of (UK) Mabie Todd posts.
• http://vintagepens.com/Mabie_Todd_Swan.shtml - For a short summary of the Mabie Todd history, David Nishimura's site is great
• http://thefountainpens.com/?s=swan&x=0&y=0 - Gorgeous pictures of Swan pens

Perhaps the pencil blogs could be included as a resource for MT Fyne Poynt?

Sure... if you know some, please list them.

I've been reading older Pennant magazines and I saw a description of David Moak's book and cd, and I see the link for his website in this thread.

 

The web site is seems to be down now and I can find very little about the book and CD.

 

Does anyone know if it's still available? It sounds like a great resource. I'm just discovering some of the wonderful swan pens.

I was told that David Moak sold everything off a few years back. The book is out of print. It comes up on ebay every month or two.

I also happen to know that as recently as a few months ago there were two copies of the book at The Fountain Pen Shop in Monrovia (I see you are at least in the right state). Call Fred (owner) on the phone. Great guy.

The Wayback Machine at archive.org has a final entry for mabie-todd.com on March 27th this year, and you can still browse parts of the site through their last snapshot: http://web.archive.org/web/20160327150310/http://www.mabie-todd.com/#st

Hi,

 

now they can be found here:

 

https://pencollectorsofamerica.org/reference-library/mabie-todd/

 

The 1921 catalog, around p.26, is a good resource to the many variants of swan nibs!

 

Best

The Mabie Todd Pen Listings site was compiled by John Brindle some years ago. I don't know if it is still being added to but as it stands it's a very valuable piece of work.
