FRENCH PENS
Stylomine 303 V - 1938
Big fountain pen with white metal clip and rings but solid gold nib.
Stylomine 303 D
Two Stylomine 303 D. One black and one purple. These are two big French pens, 14 cm long with an accordion sac filling system.
Stylomine 303 Filling system
The accordeon sac ends with a glass reservoir in a steel cage which allow to see the ink level.
Stylomine 303
Later Stylomine 303 with a nib reminding the famous PARKER "51". The filling system is still the same. The clip is not complete.
Stylomine Mastodonte
This pen is made of Mottled Hard Rubber. Same filling system than the 303. This is a hard to find fat fountain pen.
Edacoto - Lever filler
This is a nice fountain pen. The same model exists in a bigger size, with visible ink level, much more interesting
Edacoto
Little french Edacoto. Very nice blue striated celluloid. This pen is mint with sticker
Edacoto ink view
The nib of this one is a number 5 but the larger one is the number 6
A quite difficult french pen to find.
Meteore Mottled hard rubber - 1926
This pen was made by the company "La plume d'or". This is a mottled hard rubber fountain pen, lever filler, with a white band at the top of the cap.
Meteore Safety - 1926
Safety version. This one is mint and still has his price sticker.
Meteore Pullman - 1932
The french Meteore Pullman is a rare and interesting pen. This one is made of black hard rubber. It is a button filler. the nib appears when you push the barrel. It reminds the Japanese Pilot capless which is still available in all good fountain pen shops. The mecanism is quite fragile and can be easily broken. If you have one, be carefull ! ... better to send it to me than to brake it !!! :-)
Meteore - Safety
Gold Starry N°37 - 1913
This Gold Starry is one of the first pen of the brand. It is a safety in black hard rubber. It was made in England and imported in France. The french company Gold Starry will appear later in 1921.
Conté
I really like this pen with this very nice clip, the little greek key cap band and this nice mottled hard rubber.
It reminds the Parker duofold Junior streamlined but it is a lever filler.
Mallat S40
Safety pen. Nicely chased. Mint condition with sticker. 18k Gold nib
Mallat Plexigraf
This a very simple but quite nice fountain pen. Button Filler. 18k gold nib.
Pierre Baignol & Co - TANK 400
This is an oversize fountain pen. It is an eyedropper filler, the barrel holds the ink and has to be filled with an eyedropper. However this pen comes with four extra barrel which are used as travel ink pots. Each barrel is red and has good transparency. This allow to see the level of ink at any time.
The TANK also exists in a smaller version (TANK 300), and in other colors of cap or barrels.
Oldwin Art Deco
Oldwin is an old french brand which was created by Boris Mora. The brand still exists thanks to his son, André Mora. This one is a modern cardridge filler made of mottled hard rubber. Note the solid gold clip, the huge nib, the nice thread at the end of the section, and the stepped end of cap and barrel. This is a big pen, 14,2 cm closed ! This pen is made artisanaly and a very small number is made in each patern. You have no chance to have the same pen than your colleague when you use this pen in a meeting !
