Not sure of the model but really like the pattern of the material it's made of!

After further research it may be a Supreme model.

Wow! It is wonderful to be back online.  I don't believe the pen has a model name or number as it was sold on store counters on a cardboard display.  The clip indicates it to be late 1930s to pre-WW2.  The price would have been 25 cents... assuming the nib is thin 14k gold plate.  They are certainly nice looking pens that restore well.

I'd say it was a Supreme. The name first appeared in the 1930s, and as this example shows, they generally had some pretty classy marbling work. I think David Khan first used the name independent of Wearever - just "Supreme" on the clip. In teh 1940s the name was retired, but he revived it in the 1950s and 1960s for the cheap and nasty model in the link above. IMHO the later incarnation tarnishes the reputation of the earlier one!

Keeping company with the early Supreme was a whole raft of very similar Wearevers with small variations in clip and end jewels - black and white as here, or all black, or black and red. Some were faceted. I tend to lump them all together as "Supreme 1", and the later metal-capped ones as "Supreme 2"; but no doubt Khan had distinctions for each variation.

      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
