Conway Stewart Sterling Silver Eye Candy


Vicary

Recommended Posts

As a little backstory, I'm helping a friend who recently dramatically downsized his house to try to get a handle on his storage space by cutting back on pens. Modern Conway Stewarts are a great place to start if you're trying to save room, since their boxes are so ridiculously oversized. In any case, I listed a bunch for sale, but these sterling silver and enamel over sterling silver models were so beautiful I wanted to share them on their own. Part of the fun of going through this collection has been finding all of these beautiful pens, some of which I forgot even existed!

 

Visible here are three of the Elegance Elements series pens- the Fire, Air, and Water. Also there's a Westminster Teal, and what I think is just a sterling silver 58. Beautiful pen, but with the smaller 58 nib. I have one of my own sterling Conways...now that I'm thinking about it maybe I'll snap a picture of that one too...maybe you want to post your sterling or enamel Conway Stewarts here too!

 

best,

Doug

I saw you post this on Facebook as well Doug. Truly, that's a mighty set of pens! I highly encourage you to take more pictures of each individual pen before they get sold for posterity's sake. These are rare pieces and I'm sure you'd be doing a great service to the hobby by capturing the details of each pen for reference. Cheers!

 

That Westminster is simply stunning.

What a beautiful collection. I don't own a Conway Stewart pen, but I am now taking a trip to their website.... Thanks for posting.

I only have one that fits this category, but happy to share it here. It's a 2006-2007 Windsor, limited edition No. 15/100. Sterling silver with a marbled overlay, hand crafted by English gunsmiths. Mine has a medium 18ct two-tone nib. My grail (and avatar) pen.20201222_143814.thumb.jpg.d858ab34bbdd23ee179aa1839d63b861.jpg

      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
