Svenska Pennfabriken AB - anone know about it?

[AndreasD]

I have a small fountain pen, called "populär", and I think it was made by Svenska Pennfabriken in Stockholm. I have no data what so ever on them. Anyone ever heard of them? I suspect I might have to find someone at a technical museum. Suggestions for other venues of inquiry also solicited.

Svenska Pennfabriken typed into my search engine reveals several entries.

Thanks. I had used Bing as the last time I checked there were no difference to google. I tried it again, and google did give a few leads. I did learn more of the history, but sadly not about my special pen. But, maybe something to follow up on.

I think it might be AB Stockholms Pennfabrik that you are thinking of. They made the "Penol Populär" for a short while.

There is some information here: https://magnuslundberg.net/reservoarpennor-pens-4/

Or perhaps this is the pen?

Interesting.  I was not familiar with this brand.  

Just looked up the link that @lobster posted, and copied and pasted some of the data into Google Translate to find out what sort of fill system it had.

@AndreasD -- Is your pen like the one in the photo?  And is yours also a piston filler like that one?

That looks like an interesting pen!

I posted some pictures of my pen, in this thread. I think it says something more than "Populär" but I can't read it even with a loupe.

Another Populär. Haven't seen that one before. Seems like the name "Populär" was popular back in the day.
