Anyone Have Info To Share On My "new" Bchr Fountain Pen Purchase - Sears Roebuck And Co.

Yesterday I stopped by a usual place I check out regularly and bought a batch of vintage pens he had. One of the pens was the one pictured below. I have read some of the posts about what companies made Sears pens, but this one only has the Sears Roebuck and Co. logo. It has a slip on cap. The barrel does not have any writing on it but the cap does. And yes, the logo is doubled printed on the cap. It has a pretty worn "Warranty 14K" nib. Other than the nib, it is in great condition. It came with the box (no instructions). It is BCHR and probably early 1920's. It measures 5 3/4-inches capped, 4 13/16-inches uncapped and 6 3/4-inches posted..

 

I would appreciate any information any of your could share with me about this pen since there is so-o-o little on the web.

They came as a boon, and a blessing to men,
The Pickwick, the Owl and the Waverley pen

Very nice pen, more the better class of an Economy pen due to the large gold colored cap ring. Nice and ornate one too. :thumbup:

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
