Leboeuf Fountain Pen Company - Ephemera

[AAAndrew]

A piece of ephemera. The choice of orange was a bold one in 1929, but it definitely stands out. Now I just need to get one of their pens.

Some guy at a table at a pen show I was at a couple of years ago (I think it was maybe the first year I went to the Triangle Pen Show) told me that LeBoeuf had the most interesting and beautiful celluloid pen colors of any company pretty much anywhere. So possibly having orange printed ephemera isn't too far a stretch....

And yeah, some of the ones the guy had at his table were pretty spectacular.... But not what I was looking for (or budgeted for) that weekend.

You always find the most interesting stuff to post images of, BTW.

interesting. The color of the share is not so daring. United Artists used it also.

Laboeuf pens can be gorgeous...I lost an auction for a grey-and-white-wood-grained ringtop the other day and it will haunt my dreams for a while. I have one that’s the most beautiful wood-grain of any pen I’ve seen.

I heard that the LeBoeuf name has been re-trademarked by Rob Rosenberg. He is known for starting pen companies, failing, and then selling the name. Such as Esterbrook, Conklin, and a few others. He is at it again so we will see what happens.

BTW, he also bought the name Sensa.

Oh, thanks for the heads-up on that. Of course the only LeBoeuf pens I've ever seen have been vintage ones.
