MENTMORE pens were made in Hackney, East London, UK, between the 1920's and the mid 1950's.
They are attractive, exceptionally well-made, and were deservedly very popular,
especially between 1946 and the mid 1950's.
Mentmore also manufactured for several other distributors
and they, themselves, also used the brand name of Spot.

NATIONAL SECURITY
(Updated 13th January, 2017)

National Security and Rosemary were the brand names of pens made for British Carbon
Papers of Farringdon, in the City of London.
During the 1920's/30's the manufacturers were Henry Stark, Son & Hamilton,
also registered at the same Farringdon address.

Rosemary ("That's for Remembrance") pens had been established in the early to mid 1920's,
and are now scarce and very desirable collector's items.

The National Security pens here date from the late 1930's to the mid 1940's
and are delightful examples of traditional pen-craftsmanship,
as well as being attractive items both to collect and use.

Our ref.	Model	Colour	Year	Condition	Price
NS 107	One of the rarer NATIONAL SECURITY models, complete with original box and paperwork (with MEDIUM warranted semi-flexible 14 carat gold nib, which we think is a replacement)	Green & Black marble, with transparent section on the barrel	c.1939	Pen: EX Box: well worn on outside, but coimpletely intact	£55
NS 108	A longer lever filler in a sturdy and desirable National Security presentation box (with original MEDIUM warranted semi-flexible 14 carat gold nib)	Green & Black marble	c.1939	Pen: slightestdeformation in the shape of the barrel. Replacement gold-plated clip, marked Bantam Box: VG, and sturdy	£50
NS 105	At first glance, this could well be a LADY PARKER Duofold from the early 1930's - but you'd be wrong. It is clearly engraved NATIONAL SECURITY English Manufacture (with MEDIUM warranted flexible 14 carat gold nib)	Jade with gold plated trim	c.1936	EX	£65
