Hello Andy. :W2FPN:

 

It might be best to ask this question in the Great Britain forum.

 

https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/forum/33-great-britain-ireland-europe/

 

I don't see why there shouldn't be a CS 524 pen. It would most likely be from the "Dinkie" range of vest pocket/ handbag pens, and therefore could well have a multi colour pattern described as "Rainbow".

 

Can I enquire why you ask?

Didn't think there was a 524 series. Do you mean the 542??? It came in Peacock,or it might have been Pheasant, pattern.

Good call on the 542, which was certainly released in peacock.

 

It's still possible that there was a 524 Dinkie though.

Thank you MalcolmH for your welcome and suggestion to move this to another forum, I'll look to do this shortly. I'm asking as I have aquired a Conway Stewart pen and pencil set and have been told that it is a Dinkie 524 from the 1920's in 'Rainbow' colouring. That said I cannot find it under any internet source. I can't quite make out the etched detail on the barrel, probably due to years of use.

 

Sandy Fry - many thanks to you too but looking at images of the 542, this doesn't look to be the same model.

 

I'll look how to move this thread and how to add a photo...

 

Many thanks again.

Another good call, Fred.

 

Andy, have you checked out the late Jonathan Donahaye's 'book of numbers'?

 

I'm sure you have. It's a great source of information, but the list isn't exhaustive. Every now and then, you see a model, or colour, which is not catalogued here.

 

Is there a chance of some good pictures of the pen?

      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
