Help in Identifying this Eversharp


kenrapoza

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm wondering if anyone can help me identify the model and time period of this pen.  It is an Eversharp, made in England, has a tiny 14k nib (smallest I've ever seen!), but writes very nicely with surprising flex and line variation.  It's got a really cheaply made flimsy plastic aerometric filling system and a slip-on cap.  I have looked online but have not been able to find this model.

 

I have attached some pictures.  

 

Thanks!

 

Ken

I do not know too much, but the pen seems to be a late Eversharp pen ..maybe when Parker bought the company...

whatever nice pen...best regards.

I believe that's an Eversharp Vanguard. Here's a link to one in red (out of stock, but you can see the resemblances). I had one like this in red, I sold it on a few months ago. It did seem to be fairly cheaply made, but as I recall it wrote reasonable well.

Yes, that's it!  Thanks Paul! I have never heard of this pen before, but I'm glad I grabbed it.  I am pretty impressed with the nib's response.

      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
