Hoping to get some clues as to what this pen is- saw it in an antiques shop, thought "ooh pretty, a mystery" and promptly failed at finding any information by myself. I'm sure it's nothing fancy, but would like to try to clean it up. Not knowing exactly what I'm looking at has me wary.

I always answer when I see 75-100 views with no answers, even like now, when I know nothing but it's a very pretty old pen.

Get it re-sacked and enjoy.

 

I have the impression it's '30's a mandrill wound type of pen.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

no clue either, I was wondering, since there is no other reference you can search, if you have tried searching the exact wording on the nib "iridium tipped made in U.S.A."

this may take you totally astray, but worth a try...

Thanks y'all! Yeah, I did a search on the nib stuff and it didn't really go anywhere. I'm going to the Chicago pen show this weekend so maybe I can have it fixed up there so I won't mess it up myself, which was my main concern!

good idea, enjoy the show

I have a feeling you may end up buying other pens besides getting this one fixed...

still I'd like to be in your boots

(I'm just on the other side of the ocean, and Chicago is a bit too far!...)

I agree getting it re-sacced at the show is a good way to go.  I have broken celluloid pens trying to open them.  (None that were so special I wake up at night in a sweat about it, but I would rather not have broken them all the same.  And this pen seems special.

      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
