A. Dickinson hallmarked sterling pen from 1905
the pen is a eyedrop filler and everything functions as it should, ready to write
The relatively small nib (a bit smaller than a Waterman #2 nib)
has very much flexibility and it is easy to get the pen flexing
This has a silver snails design. There are 3 British hallmarks on the pen
(one of the pictures shows the hallmarks) the marks are fairly worn
There are the following hallmarks:
AB&Co an anchor a lion facing to the left and a small f
The AB&Co stands for Alfred Bromet & Co of Jewin St. London
The anchor stands for the Birmingham area
The lion is a British .925 sterling mark
this small f stands for 1905
The capped pen is 5.28 inches or 13.5 cm long
it is 0.37 inches, or 9.4 cm thick
I bought this pen at the Fountain Pen Hospital, a New York landmark
several years ago
The nib is stamped "A. Dickinson". The D and n in Dickinson don't quite
fit on the nib and a bit abbreviated. Under that is "product"
The nib has quite a bit of effortless flexibility and the pen is
a pleasure to write with.
Nib writes with a broad line.
The picture of the writing sample has my attempt at drawing the hallmarks
The nib railroaded because I had only dipped the pen
I am selling the pen because I've decided to reduce my collection
to a smaller number of pens that I use more often
Asking $249 obo
free shipping to the CONUS, anywhere else, just ask
