PRICE: $725 |
| COMMENTS: A pen well off my beaten path. Probably dates to around 1910. Aikin Lambert made some gorgeous overlays. The company eventually was absorbed by LE Waterman. This pen pops. Crisp overlay, clean glossy black hard rubber. Modest flex to the nib. | |||

PRICE: $225 |
| COMMENTS: Quality pen with nib a bit smaller than First Tier pens of this size. Webster likely was a store-brand (as with Diamond Medal for Sears), with some made by National and at least a couple made by Parker. Or so i believe... Clean pen with some brassing on lower cap-band opposite the clip and bit on clip-ball. Top bands and bulk of clip quite clean. Nice writer. | |||

| COMMENTS: Mid 1920's Mabie, demonstrating Mabie's penchant for off-the-beaten-path metal patterns. A mix of columns of squiggly lines, columns of straight lines, and splotches comprising many shorter lines, this one is just pretty. Has a neat flexy nib, too. | |||

| COMMENTS: Crisp pearl/black color, probably in top decile. Razor sharp imprints. No brassing. Weird "reversed" personalization (i'm sure some art term is out there for this. I dunno what it is). Instead of stamping or engraving "W.S.H". the stencil (of sorts) around the initials was carved out leaving the letters raised relative to the cutting, at the level of the rest of the barrel. The letters then were stained black. First time i've seen this done to a celluloid pen. Only flaw with pen is a bit of play to the lever which seems to want to stay a mm or so elevated. I believe the wire lock is bit misaligned with the lever's catch, causing this. The nib is killer. Medium to triple broad high flex. | |||

Monroe is a small make of good quality, well appreciated by its cadre
of collectors. The big ones can cost >$1000. This one is not a
big
one though :-) The trim is clean, imprint is excellent. Color
is
a dark purple with bronze. |

Mabie-todd is another high quality make that during the golden age was
not quite as big as the Big-5. With strong branches in the
USA
and in England, many verrrrry pretty Mabies lurk out there. This one is
a smooth finish gold filled pen, including the gripping section. Very
clean condition. Lever filling system makes for easy use and easy
restoration. Small Ringtops are far more common
than this
large clip pen. A beauty. |

With strong branches in the USA and in England, many verrrrry pretty Mabies lurk out there. This one is a large clip pen, well less common than the little ring-tops, in sterling silver overlay alternation engine turned pattern with smooth columns. The zig-zags are reminiscent of Sheaffer chasing. | |||

This one is a charmer, packing a circumferential engine-turned pattern quite different from what is found on most other makes. I like this one. | |||
