Vintage Mabie Todd Swan Leverless Gold - Filled Fountain Pen - 14k Full Flex Nib
Item History & Price
I have for sale here a stunning Vintage Mabie Todd Swan Leverless Gold-Filled Fountain Pen, fitted with a lovely fully flexible 14k gold nib.
These English-made pens were produced from the 1930's to '40's, and this model comes in a handsome chased gold-filled body.
The body has been cleaned with Rennaisance Pre-Lim surface cleaner, though no polishing has been attempted so that the chasing pattern can be preserved. There is no major structural damage to note, besides some minor p...itting in some small areas, e.g. near the bottom of the feed section and some on the edge of the cap.
The end of the barrel is imprinted:"SWAN" PENMABIE, TODD & CO. LTD.MADE IN ENGLAND
The pen is fitted with a smooth 14k nib that writes nicely. This has some excellent flexibility starting from a nice fine line, varying under little pressure to allow for easily achievable line variation, and the feed supplies adequate inkflow for flexible writing.
The nib is stamped:"SWAN"214 CTMABIE, TODD& CO. LTD.MADE IN ENGLAND
Also included is an original Mabie Todd Swan Leverless Box, though this is a bit tattered.
Asking price includes recorded postage and packaging. Feel free to send me an offer if interested. International postage is also available - I offer both Standard and Recorded postage services, though I would recommend using the Recorded service. If an item is lost without the Recorded service being used, it shall be up to the buyer to make a claim to Royal Mail/ their Regional Delivery service.
Perhaps it is worth noting that I always donate £5 from each pen sale to a charity of my choice. If there is a particular charity that a buyer would like me to donate to, or that they feel closely attached to, feel free to send me a message or a note with the order.
