What can some of you gurus tell me about these fountain pens? btw if this is the wrong place for this please feel free to move.
Ok pen #1 I was told came from the 1934 world fair in Chicago. It is small, it is 4.24 in. long and the dia. of the cap is .398 in.
This is a combo pen Mechanical pencil on one end and a fountain pen on the other end. Photo of the pen and a close up of the nib.
Pen#2 is a dip pen and appears to be mother of pearl with a twist to it.
The nib retracts with the pushing of the ring on the golden portion of the pen as you can see in the poor photos. The over all length is 6 in. with the nib extended. The dia. is .275 in.
Pen #3 is also a dip pen.Mother of pearl (I think) in the shape of a letter opener. The lower portion is gold plated I assume. It is 6.25 in. long and the dia is .195 in.
The last one is Sterling silver with the No. 14 (if that means anything) It is 7.50 in. long and the dia is .266.
Any info on these including value would be greatly appreciated.(see next post for other photos)
