Burnham
pens were manufactured in England between the mid-1920's and the
mid-1960's
and are now becoming very collectible.
Early Burnhams are quite rare, whilst the 1940's/1950's models come in
a
stunning array of different coloured marbles and several different
sizes.
By any standards these are worthy pens, and they make very decorative
and useful additions to any collection.
All are in working order - unless noted

What's this then ? 2 Parker Big-Reds on the Burnham page ? NO - the top one is a Parker Big-Red and the lower one is a rare as hen's teeth Parker look-alike - and who knows, may even have been made by Parker for Burnham (it has a Parker blind cap and clip-screw - AND a Parker nib - but that might well be a later addition). |

| RBU 502 | When we advertised a similar ballpen for sale earlier in the year, we were assured that only two were known to exist. Well, here is the 2nd, and it's the gift for that person who so far has everything - but not, so far, a chunky, large, 925 STERLING SILVER ball pen like this - in great condition, and probably never to be seen again. It may not even have been made for sale, and might have been a special gift to important customers. |
