This page begins with a bit of a conundrum !
All you will find engraved on the barrel of this pen is
DOVER
Any clues to its origination would be most welcome
(Click
on the image below for a slightly larger picture)
To us, it looks and feels like a PENOL (Danish manufacture),
but we're open to being corrected about this.
Fitted with a 14 carat flexible smooth nib,
it is in excellent condition.
£65 ($110)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another riddle - and such a handsome pen, as well!
The only thing engraved on the barrel of this
full sized executive-style
button-filler is
HOOVER DE LUXE
(Click
on the image below for a slightly larger picture)
We guess that it dates from the late1940's
and it is fitted with a flexible 14 carat gold FINE nib
In great condition, (noting a hint of plating wear on the cap bands)
£60 ($100)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Longing for a YELLOW pen, and can't afford one ?
How about this mid 1920's boxed
DINKIE-sized lady's pen,
complete with original box and Lanyard?
manufactured by Lang's of Liverpool, it has a 14 carat gold MEDIUM flexible nib.
A pretty little pen, and in pretty good condition for its age
SOLD !
£48 ($80)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the mid-1940's - a handsome & mint
CIBA CIB POPULAR button-filler,
complete with original shop price-sticker
and
14 carat FINE semi-flexible nib
(Click
on the image below for a slightly larger picture)
Ciba pens were manufactured in Germany in the 1940's
and early 1950's, and mainly distributed in the Benelux countries.
Each pen has a 14 carat gold DEGUSSA nib
(Degussa also manufactured nibs for Parker and Osmia pens).
£40 ($68)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOT a Parker big-Red, but virtually as LARGE !
Here is a DE LUXE CRITERION pen, dating from the 1920's,
manufactured in the USA and sold by the Criterion Mail Order Company.
SOLD !
Made of hard rubber, it comes complete with its original clip and filler-lever,
and with what seems to be a replacement 14 carat Gold nib,
with a FINE point and some flexibility.
If you're looking for a big pen - look no further
£65 ($110)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And why is this unusual ?-
Well, it is for us, since it is the first MORRISON'S
pen to appear on the this page - and a very
handsome Sterling Silver overlaid one it is, too !
(could well have been a Silver Waterman's !)
It has appeared here before, but now we've been lucky enough
to find a Morrison's box - all you now need is the matching pencil,
and you'll have a VERY rare set !

Excellent condition, with original Morrison's
Fine/Medium semi-flexible nib
£225 ($380)
