need a fountain pen

[1930artdeco]

Hi All,

I need a fountain pen. Specifically from the years 1928-1931 and I need to be able to document that is when it was made. It can be made earlier than 1928 I just have to be able to show that it was in production during that time frame. So, can anyone point me in the direction of a couple of models? I will eventually use them so it does need to work right now.

Thanks,

Mike

When you find out what to look for, I'd like to recommend two sources for reasonably affordable vintage pens. I've dealt with them both and have been very happy with the pens I've gotten from them. There are of course many other sources as well, but these should get you started.

In the time-period that you mention, common models were the Parker duofold and the sheaffer balance, both iconic pens of the 1920s and 30s, and most definitely available in the period that you mention. Finding one in working condition, sold by a professional dealer/restorer, should not be too hard. I suggest speaking to the people at the fountain pen network. I have been a longtime member there, and they can definitely help you.
