Onoto No 50 For Outrageous Price.

And may I add that I am one of those who thinks the original Magna to be one of the truly great vintage pens.

Yes, absolutely, for me too, especially the plunger version.

The Magna was my first grail pen. I still have a soft spot for the brand which I deal with by looking at Hull's Onoto Book.

Hull's Onoto book is a great reference. I enjoy reading Steve's books on all three major British brands: Onoto, Conway Stewart and Mabie Todd. They enrich my pen knowledge while saving my wallet from greed.

All I can tell about the $730 No 50, is that it's in poor condition and the clip is bent.

Just picked up this thread again, that seller still has that Onoto 50 for $AUD 730. Still the same poor pictures. So the real update is I picked up the exact same model and colour Onoto 50 for $AUD 36.10 including postage. Main difference is this one only needs a sac and a clean up, it is in excellent condition.

” All good things come to those who wait “ in this case 4 1/2 years.
