Stephen Hull's invaluable book - FOUNTAIN PENS FOR THE MILLION

CS book

Originally in hard-back edition, it was re-printed as a paperback.
That, too,is now out of print, though we do have just TWO copies for sale
at £65.00 each, plus postage.

Probably the most popular English pens and pencils of all time, Conway Stewarts were marketed between 1905 and 1977.
During that time many hundreds of different models were manufactured,in a dazzling array of varying colours, patterns and styles - ranging from the small lever-filler "Dinkies" to the very large button-filler "Duro" pens.

Many of the models featured here date from the period just after the second-world war, when production was re-started with the No.55 and 286 pens. In 1949 the now familiar more 'streamlined' look was introduced with the No.28 and 58 models, and these were soon followed by many others (including 12,14,15, 24,27,60,75,388...)with the now sought-after herringbone patterns being introduced in 1957,and only manufactured for the next three or so years.

Beautifully made, these pens are not just desirable collectors' items - they are also a delight to use.

(Condition Scale: F = Fair. G = Good. VG = Very Good. EX = Excellent).

BCS 857	Is the the most sought-after Conway Stewart model ever ? Only manufactured for two years (1955-57), versions of this pen are often yellowed, in patches, or all over, but this one is actually as good as MINT (a glance inside the cap will show that it has never seen a drop of ink), and comes from our own collection.
