Hi everyone, I have been a member awhile and I thank everyone here for all the posts they place ,for they have been a great help to me. This is my first post so please forgive me if I make any mistakes. I need and identification on a fountain pen, I will place the pictures which the seller has forwarded to me . If any one has any idea it would be greatly appreciated. 

I must add on the metal part of the nib section it is carved PRESDENT(top) and the word STELL (below) . On the barrel also the word UNIONE is clearly visible. 

Thank you all

Sorry, I am at a complete loss.

 

You did notice though, that the hood on the nib seems damaged?

Hi Carola 

No I didn't and thank you for letting me know, after reading your message I zoomed in and yes there seems to be a chip where the metal and plastic meet on the section area. Good eye ;)

That was what I meant. As cracks in the section can get really nasty (ink leaks), I thought I might point a finger.

If the seller doesn´t mention it and you file a complaint upon seeing it in person, he/she can always say that it was plainly visible in the pictures.

Even the seller doesn't know the brand all he susoects is that, it is about 60 or more years old.

If it's an ebay seller he might say that but it wouldn't prevent his buyer from filing an ebay claim for not as described and getting a full refund

I have read that sentence "Pictures are part of the description" all to often.

I hate that - it's lazy and frequently deceptive. Yesterday, I told a seller that his "rare" vintage pen was a wreck...I may still buy it, but sellers don't watch enough 'Antiques Roadshow', otherwise they might better understand about condition.

Yeah, it's like going someplace to look at a pen and finding the nib has been removed from the pens because "gold" -- they don't realize that the intact pen may worth more than the few bucks than they'd have gotten for the tiny amount of gold they'd harvested. :(

Yep, a Three pack of Beer, worth of nib, on a $100 pen. ,,,now worth much, much less.

      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
