I came across a gold lated pen with the name “Worth” down the clip. I assume this is the manufacture but I cannot find any reference to a pen manufacture or pen marketer by the name “Worth.” Has anybody come across this name?

Ha. I'm thinking why doesn't the poster just google it, then I try searching for "worth fountain pen" and immediately see the problem. I did find some images of some Worth dip pen nibs.

I found an Eclipse Pen with a very similar design on the metal plating but a MT nib. But it has me wondering. Eclipse was a Canadian Pen mfr. I assume that they contracted with a third party for the metalwork. They are known for their celluloid and BHR pens.
