I am looking for more information about the NAVY pen company, an example of which I found recently here in India. The pics are posted here in the photography forum.

 

I read from Stan's prev post (past Japanese pens) that NAVY was indeed a Japanese company. More information about the company and the pen model itself is welcome.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Hari

All I can tell is is that the model in question is from the early 1960s when, at the time, Navy was almost out of business. I note that seeing many many Japanese pens from the 1950s, I do not recall seeing any Navy pens I can accurately date from that period. I have two (had more) Navy pens from pre-war. The only post-war Navy pens I see are similar to that you have.

 

They show up on Yahoo Japan regularly. I think they are all from one seller who might have stock from an old stationary shop.

 

Regards.

Stan, thanks for the inputs. This pen I found from a vintage pen dealer. He also had a large stock of nibs made by NAVY which resembled the Sheaffer Triumph nib (conical) with shiro nib type breather holes.

Hari

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.
