Catalog 92 (April 2020)

1932 Conklin Nozac Oversize 7M Word Gauge 12-sided Faceted PIF in Red & Silver Herringbone. Taking advantage of the visualated barrel, and to promote it’s large capacity, Conklin imprinted a gauge running up the side of the barrel to show how many words the remaining ink would write. The gauge on this model runs from 1M (thousand) to 7M. GFT, including the chased cap band and “Rocker” clip.Extra-smooth, medium/broad nib. Generally found with damage to the cap lip, this one is perfect! Near mint+.

1932 Montblanc B-III BF in Jade. Very rare model and color! Bandless model with GF clip. Correct “Warranted b 14 KAR” nib (stub, italic). Cap with both “III MONT///\\\BLANC III” imprint and the “Stöffhaas” Hamburg Berlin Leipzig” imprint, the original Montblanc boutique. Several cap & barrel surface scratches; barrel a shade darker than the cap, and a thin band of darkening around the center of the cap,  otherwise near mint.

1935 Montblanc 222 push knob-fill in Azurite Blue (extremely rare, especially with such beautiful color with its bright white speckling). GFT. Medium/fine, oblique nib (shaped like left foot). Cap imprinted both “MONT//\\BLANC” and “Stöffhaas,” the Montblanc boutique in the 1930s where the pen was first sold. Near mint+

1937 Montblanc 333 ½ PL PIF in Platinum. Thought to be Montblanc’s most beautiful celluloid. GFT. Visualated barrel. Medium nib. Near mint.

1940 Omas Itala Cromograph oversize double-nibbed cam-operated pump-fill in Grey Striated. Perhaps the rarest of and the holy grail for collectors of vintage Omas pens. “Itala Cromograf” was trademarked in 1936 by Girodi & Campanelli and registered in France in 1938 with their patent granted in 1939. In 1941 Omas registered in Geneva a company called “Societa Anonima Vendita Penna Bicolor Itala Cromograph,” which translates to “Sale of two-tone Itala Cromograph Incorporated Company.” While “Omas” does not appear on the pen itself, it’s known that Omas registered this new company for the sale and/or distribution of the Itala Cromograph they were now producing. Barrel imprint, “Itala-cromo-graph.” Both nibs (fine) imprinted “Itala 585 Cromograph.” Made in black as well as various colors, it has a very complex mechanism consisting of a gear and series of springs. Pulling the blind cap down first propels one nib, pulling it again automatically retracts that nib and propels the other. Two ink reservoirs. To fill, first extend the blind cap. You’ll see two small fins. Slide one tab to the left and then press the blind cap to operate the button-fill mechanism. When finished, slide the fin back in place. Do the same with the second fin to fill the other reservoir. New-old-stock. Mint. Hyperlink to patent (in French, but the drawings show the extreme complexity of the inner mechanism): https://www.fountainpen.it/File:Patent-FR-840819.pdf. [Thanks to Jacopini, La Storia della Stilografica in Italy, Vol. II and FountainPen.it for much of the information here.]

1932 Zerollo/Dunhill “Two Pen” Matchstick-fill in Black Chased Spiral Hard Rubber. Clip imprinted ‘D.D. Zerollo” Nibs each signed “John Dunhill” who had the marketing license from Zerollo for the English speaking market. There was also a marketing agreement in France with the “Unic” Company. This pen was produced in two sizes, which are equally rare, this is the larger of the two. GFT. The cap top unscrews to reveal the matchstick filler. There are two separate reservoirs, one for each of the nibs. Turn the bottom knob to propel one nib, turn in the other direction to propel the other. Medium nibs. Extremely rare! Some wear to the clip, otherwise near mint++. Hyperlink to patent: https://www.fountainpen.it/File:Patent-US-1893130.pdf

1900 Moore No. 2 Safety eyedropper-fill pen in Gold-filled repousse ”Chased” pattern. Even the “sliding” portion of the barrel is metal covered. Early “short” cap model. Correct “American Fountain Pen” nib. Rare and beautiful! 1896 patent date. Indicia engraved “Charles R. Hotaling Albany NY.” Charles was the Sergeant-at-Arms of the New York State Senate Assembly in Albany, NY. I found records of his work there as early as 1905 and as late as his 1931 re-appointment. In 1911 he was involved in a US Senate investigation of corrupt Albany politics. Fine, extra-flexible nib. One small dent in the crown, and just a tad of distress to the posting knob on the bottom, otherwise near mint.

1910 Parker 46 Taper-cap eyedropper-fill with heavy repousse “snail” pattern gold-filled cap and alternating smooth pearl and abalone overlay barrel. At the turn of the last Century it was common practice for major pen manufacturers to adorn their pens with metal and pearl. Most all pens were black hard rubber, and this was a wonderful way to add beauty, value and profit to their pens. One of the most beautiful and sought after is the Parker 46. Most manufacturers covered only the barrel, leaving the taper cap unadorned because it was so hard to manufacture the cone shaped cap overlay. The 46 comes in various configurations, including alternating pearl and abalone, smooth slabs, fluted slabs and corrugated slabs. A wonderful and pristine pen which will make an outstanding addition to your collection!  Indicia engraved. Parker Lucky Curve “Scroll” #2 broad nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

1905 Parker 30 eyedropper-fill in Gold-filled in repousse “Scroll and Diamond“ pattern. “Parker #3, fine, extra-flexible nib with “keyhole” vent. Near mint” with no signs of use or ink.

1910 Parker 15 Eyedropper-fill in BHR with Pearl barrel and Gold-filled Filigree Cap. Incredibly rare and beautiful! Made at a time when all pens were black and manufacturers adorned their pens with overlays of pearl and/or precious metal to provide customers with greater choice and status symbols. Rarer model with the “Turban-top” cap-top. Cap indicia smartly engraved in Olde English script, “H.T.T.” Near mint+ with no dents or brassing and the correct early #3 nib with “Keyhole” vent hole.

1922 Parker Duofold Sr. “Big Red” BF in Cardinal Hard Rubber. Early bandless model, with the large size “DUOFOLD” imprint (it became a bit smaller in 1923) . GFT. Has a fine nib, which is imprinted “PARKER DUOFOLD PEN,” generally thought of as from 1923 rather than 1922, but very likely available and used in later 1922 as well (design changes were generally not made exactly on January 1 of a new year, but when the old parts ran out). Correct blind-cap with an imprinted “6″ on the bottom. Barrel a shade darker where covered by the cap when closed, otherwise near mint+. The barrel imprint has been highlighted in white.

1931 Pelikan T111 Toledo PIF in 24K gold-plated sleeve with etched pelicans surrounded by fine tooling. Black cap with etched clip and knurled cap bands. Medium/broad nib. Very minor loss of barrel gilding can be seen only under examination with a loop. The GF clip and cap bands show minor brassing. One of the “holy grails” of Pelikan collecting.

1907 Waterman Model 25 Taper Cap ED in Red Mottled Hard Rubber. Extremely rare! Pre-Globe 2-line imprint with 1884 patent dates. 1907 nib. Crisp imprint. The first 25 RMHR Taper Cap I have ever seen! Fine nib. Near mint.

1930 Waterman Patrician set in Onyx (Red Cream). GFT. Almost impossible to find in near mint color, such as this one. No ambering or discoloration at all! The top half of the cap shows a shade darker because you are seeing the BHR inner cap through the celluloid. Fine nib. New-old-stock. Mint.

Some minor surface scratches and a minor flat spot on the knurled knob, otherwise near mint. Very, very rare!

Design Patent granted in 1966. GFT. From Parker 75.com, “Early production used sections with metal threads. This can be readily seen even when the section was fitted onto the barrel because the metal threads left an exposed telltale band in contact with the barrel. By the end of 1965 Parker stopped producing the fountain pens with this metal-threaded section, replacing them with an all-plastic model. As a result, this early variant is especially prized among collectors.”“66″ (medium) nib. Near mint+. Converter included. [Two available]

The material of the body is sterling silver, although it is not engraved on the body, and the nib is of 14K as you already know. There was no specification sheet kept in our archive but I found the pen in our ‘1996 catalogue’ and I guess the year of manufacturing is 1996 or a little earlier. This is all the information I can give you and hope it helps. Best regards, Elijah Yokoo “

Titanium is ionized in a closed gas chamber and ionized titanium particles are shot onto the plating surface, making the “bond” of plating much more stronger. Sailor was the first to apply this plating method in the pen industry and they decided to stamp “TIGP ” for marketing purposes.   New-old-stock. Mint. Converter included.

1905 Crocker #3 Blow-fill in Red Mottled Hard Rubber (very rare). Yes, the user put the pen into his mouth and blew through a hole in the bottom of the barrel to pneumatically depress the bladder. Then, with the nib in the ink bottle, the user released the pneumatic pressure and the ink was drawn into the bladder. Eventually, Crocker supplied a rubber syringe (bulb) which fit over the end of the pen to replace the (unsanitary) use of the mouth (I will provide a bulb with the pen). When Seth Chilton Crocker left the Crocker Pen Company (owned by his father) and started the Chilton Pen Company (his own company), the blow-filler mechanism was replaced by another pneumatic filling mechanism using a sliding barrel with a hole in the end which the user covered with his or her finger – a big improvement! This is a very early “Cone Cap” example, without cap threads. Fine, extra-flexible nib. Near mint.

1928 Kritikson Bros. Security Giant twist-fill Check Protector in RMHR. GFT. Remove the cap top to find a roller with a set of red inked sharp-spikes, designed to roll over and perforate a check.

1905 J.G. Rider #5 Masterpen ED in BHR. Long nickel “over-the-top” clip (unique to J.G. Rider). What also makes this pen unusual is the notch in the feed, into which the clip fits, to facilitate removal of the nib and feed so the pen can then be filled through the open end of the barrel. There is no separate gripping section to unscrew! Fine, extra-flexible nib. Imprint wear (not all readable) and signs of dried ink inside the barrel (filled 100 years ago?), otherwise near mint.

1931 Conklin Nozac 5M 12-sided PIF in in Green Pearl with long visualated “Word Gauge” barrel.

The gauge on this model runs from 1M (thousand) to 5M (a larger model on the Nozac goes as far as 7M). GFT, including the chased cap band and “Rocker” clip. Fine, semi-flexible nib. Near mint+.

Parker hedged their bets by protecting the “Duofold” name should the green color fail in the marketplace. It succeeded, and in 1927 Parker started imprinting the barrels “Duofold.” Medium “Lucky Curve” nib. Two things of note: first, the early examples, like this one, are far more translucent than the later versions and second, these earliest Jade pens are almost always found highly discolored – this example has far, far less ambering than most.

1918 Conklin #20 Crescent-fill “Dummy” in Black Chased Hard Rubber. A mock pen, used for window displays, so a sellable pen would not get ruined by the heat, sunlight, etc. The pen is either painted black or heavily coated in clear sealant, so it wouldn’t discolor from the elements while on display. The cap can go onto the top or bottom. The nib is signed “14K Gold Plate.” The lock ring doesn’t turn. The very bottom of the pen is configured as a “V,” perhaps to lock the pen in place so it can’t turn and ruin the display. A wonderful piece of ephemera! Mint.

1910 Crocker Ink-Tite #2 “Blow-fil” in Black Chased Hard Rubber. Yes, the user put the pen into his/her mouth and blew through a hole in the bottom of the barrel to pneumatically depress the bladder. Then, with the nib in the ink bottle, the user released the pneumatic pressure and the ink was drawn into the bladder. Crocker supplied a rubber syringe (bulb) which fit over the end of the pen to replace the (unsanitary) use of the mouth. Both methods are clearly explained on the original instructions, included for you in the original box. When Seth Chilton Crocker left the Crocker Pen Company (owned by his father) and started the Chilton Pen Company (his own company), the blow-filler mechanism was replaced by another pneumatic filling mechanism using a sliding barrel with a hole in the end which the user covered with his or her finger – a big improvement. Broad nib. New-old-stock. Mint in box (box and instructions worn and threadbare.. Replacement rubber syringe included. Close-up of pen with packaging.
