Have you see this wonderful article in Good Housekeeping? It read: "Wouldn't it be lovely if handwritten notes made a comeback. Let's revive the holiday postcard, the pretty 'thank you' card to a friend after a lovely dinner party, the letter to a Grandma. Leave emails and texts to others - buy yourself a gorgeous fountain pen, some special stationery and practise your handwriting. It'll make everyone - you included - very happy." |

Why would someone wish to buy an old fountain pen? Simply
because they are beautiful writing instruments made of such high
quality that would be uneconomical to produce nowadays. A restored
fountain pen quickly becomes one of our most prized possession. The first fountain pens were first created in the 1890's
after L E Waterman had devised a method for allowing ink to drip
down to the writing nib as and when it was needed. Arguably some of the best vintage fountain pens were produced in
the period 1900 up to the Second World War. The earliest pens
were made from black hard rubber and then red hard rubber and then
'red rippled' which was a mix of both black and red. By the mid 1920's a new product called celluloid used for making
pens first saw it's appearance. The celluloid meant that
fountain pens could then be manufactured in many colours. The
Parker fountain pens ( just to name one fountain pen maker ) of
the early 1930's are stunning. Of course the detrimental effects of the 'Depression' years and
the Second World War were nothing to the major impact of the
ball-point pen in the late 1950's. Those fountain pen
companies who took this new innovation into their business plans
managed to survive but the fountain pen manufacturers who saw the
ball-point pen as a fad quickly declined and ceased production.
We want to bring to you vintage fountain pens which are not only
lever filling pens but also eyedroppers, coin
fillers, button fillers, piston fillers,
snorkel filling systems, vacuum fillers, piston
fillers and touchdown filling mechanisms.
The pen will be despatched with notes on
