Conway Stewart Herringbone Photo Thread


PenHero

Recommended Posts

Hi, Folks!

 

I don't run across many of these, so I thought I would start a thread with this near mint example I found and see if others could fill in the blanks.

This is a Conway Stewart Number 27 lever fill fountain pen in green herringbone celluloid c. 1952-1955. It’s about 5 inches long and has a black domed cap top jewel and gold filled trim. The washer type clip has the Conway Stewart logo stamped at the top face and a diamond shaped tip. The lever tab is stamped with the Conway Stewart logo inside a diamond. The barrel is stamped The Conway Stewart and MADE IN ENGLAND is stamped near the end. The model number is absent on this example. The 14 karat gold nib is stamped Conway over Stewart over 14CT GOLD over 5.

Don't laugh...my first herringbone pen, a 58 minus it's cap. Well I tried...

 

Anyone with a spare for sale please PM me, I'd love to make him whole again.

Managed to pick up this Red Herringbone 58 some time ago and the green 77 I bought for comparatively little last week. Both are mint condition.

 

I find the 77 to be a far more comfortable fit in my hand than its smaller brother, so the red is now listed in the classifieds.

 

I'll keep the capless example and the superb 77 is a grail pen checked off the list.

 

Does anyone else think the green has more lustre than the other herringbone colours?

      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
