Item History & Price
Conway Stewart 60 Cracked Ice Fountain Pen 1950s. 14C DURO Full Flex Nib. Boxed with RARE Papers...Just Serviced with new ink sac. Works as when new. ZERO cracks or splits etc.
Made in London, England 1950s. This beautiful pen has the highly sought after Cracked Ice colourway. Timeless elegance. Model 60 was also the top of the range and most expensive model in the 1950s. The DURO nib was also Conway Stewarts most expensive nib and the reserve of their elite range pens only. This pens DURO ni...b is UNIQUE in that it has FULL flexibility. MOST model 60 DURO nibs are FIRM with zero flex. A few have Semi Flex but to find a FULL flex DURO is very special indeed. What a beautiful writer. A nib so creative its only limitation is the writing ability and imagination of its user.
The Cracked Ice Pattern on these pens is UNIQUE on EVERY pen. Some have better and more consistent pattern than others. This example for sale has fantastic pattern as good as you will EVER see from Conway Stewart. The pen itself is made of Celluloid. It still has the Gloss and Sheen of a new pen. The Conway Stewart 60 etc barrel imprints are deep and easy to read. It has no Cracks, Repairs, Dents, deep Scratches or Bite Marks etc. Rare to find so clean. The Clip, Ring Band and Lever are Yellow Gold plated and also superb with only the lightest of patina on the high points as you would expect of this age. Also rare to find such clean Gold Trim on 1950s Conway Stewart. The Black front section (part you hold when writing) is BHR (Black Hard Rubber). The Clip Jewel is the rare Aluminium type. The feed is also BHR and has perfect ink flow qualities, The ink flow never skipped a beat during its writing sample test and I really push them.
As handsome as this pen undoubtedly is it writes even better. Its 14K nib is a simple JOY to use. Writes with a Fine to Medium line that has Fine line side stroke at normal pressure. Perfect for everyday use. Super smooth with no paper scratch etc. The flex is also user friendly in that it is not to soft, loose or twitchy. Never flexes by itself only on user command. Grade A+++++ Flex nib. As good as Conway Stewart Nibs get. Hens teeth rare for a DURO nib! The Original Box and Papers are also superb. VERY rare to find such clean box. The paper set also has an ULTRA rare illustrated 1950s Conway Stewart Model Range sheet. With this Model 60 at the top.
