This Parker 51, an outstandingly popular fountain pen in its day and remains a stylish and extremely good “workhorse” today. It is an excellent vintage pen for both everyday use and for signing that important letter/document. This particular model has a grey barrel with a rolled silver cap. The grey is lighter than it appears in the photograph. The barrel is in good condition. The rolled silver cap, which is more difficult to find than the rolled gold, is in good-fair condition with some age wear and a small ding on the right hand side. This is reflected in the price. It is an aerometric (squeezebox) filler with a medium nib. The combination of grey body and rolled silver cap add to the overall style of this classic pen. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. A gift box is available free of charge on request. | |

Swan SF1 with 18ct gold band | Stock number: 4181 |

Fine-medium nib, Lever fill system. |
£98.00 |
Postage and packing | |
This vintage pen was made in England by Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd, under the Swan brand. The shell is made of hard rubber. As was the practice at the time, various versions with gold cap bands and overlay were produced for the more discerning customer. The barrel imprint reads “Swan self-filler – Swan trademark, Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd. Made in England”. This particular model has a cap band marked 18ct. and sports a Swan clip which, interestingly, was made in the USA. The variation between countries is not unusual as hard rubber pens were often made without clips and these were purchased at a later date as they became available. This particular clip is called an accommodation clip (so named because it could accommodate most pen caps of the period). It has the Swan logo. The fine-medium nib states “Swan 1, 14ct. Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd.” This vintage pen is in good condition with only minor surface and plating wear and one tiny crack in the cap between the cap band and the cap end where it meets the barrel - but this does not detract from the closed cap fitting. It is a slim pen and measures 12.9cm with cap on and 16cm with cap on end of barrel. An early pen and a good addition to a Swan collection but also suitable for everyday use. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch. A gift box is available free of charge on request and filling instructions will be sent with your order. | |

This early vintage lever filling fountain pen, with silver filigree overlay, was made by Waterman around 1929. It is marked “Made in USA Sterling” on the barrel and has the “Ideal” lozenge on the lever. The cap band states “Waterman’s Sterling”. The silver filigree overlay is in good order with some wear commensurate with age. There is a small ding in the top of the cap and a minor mark near the original Waterman Ideal lever. The barrel lozenge is clear - there is some light reflection on the photograph. The bottom of the barrel states: “Waterman’s reg. US Pat Off. Made in USA”. The end of the barrel has the Waterman number of 452. The nib is a Waterman No. 2 fine point and is in good order - the text reads: "Waterman Ideal Reg. US Pat Off 2”. The clip has been replaced at some point and whilst it is a Waterman’s Ideal clip, it is of white metal rather than silver. However, as you will see from the photograph this does not detract from the overall quality of the pen. It measures 14cm with cap on and 17cm with cap on end of barrel. An excellent vintage pen which will grace any collection and yet also provide many years of writing service.

Waterman No.7 | Stock number: 5048 |

Fine nib, Lever fill system. |
£248.00 |

This magnificent Waterman "Ripple" vintage pen was made in the USA around 1927. Waterman produced a series of these pens with differing nib types, the type was denoted by the band at the top of the cap and, of course, on the nib itself. This particular model has a “Purple” nib – which indicates a fine stiff point - marketed at the time as suitable for an accountant. The cap band colour is black and so it is likely the original nib did not suit the previous owner and an alternative Waterman series nib was inserted. The "Purple" was included in the initial range of 7 series colours from 1927 to 1928 but was then dropped from the UK range. Whilst this pen originated in the USA, this nib type is hard to find these days. The cap also sports a Waterman’s Ideal ball ended clip and gold fill band.The barrel states “Waterman’s” “Made in USA” – with No. 7 marked on the end. The original lever has been replaced by a flag gold fill lever. There is some wear to cap and lever plating. The nib states “Waterman Ideal – Purple”. This is a super pen, a fine size (just over 5½ inches long with cap on) in good condition and suitable for everyday use and/or as a collector’s item. All fountain pens are professionally serviced by Vintage Fountain Pens Inc. and bench tested prior to offering for sale. A further inspection is carried out before despatch.

Medium-broad nib, Leverless fill system. |
£245.00 |
Postage and packing | |
This rare sterling silver Swan vintage pen was made by Mabie Todd Ltd. under the Swan brand in the late 1930’s. The hallmark is London 1938. It is a lovely pen in a finish that was termed a “Barleycorn” design. It is in good condition overall but has seen some changes during its lifetime. The clip has been replaced with a Swan accommodation clip (this means that the clip will accommodate most pen caps) and the nib has been replaced with an English “Summit” nib which has a smooth medium-broad point. These changes are reflected in the price. It is a “leverless short” pen which means that it fills by twisting the knob at the bottom of the pen barrel and that it is slightly shorter than the average pen. It is a rare fountain pen, in good condition, which will provide pleasure in a collection and long service if pressed into everyday use. | |
