Years ago I chanced upon a thread where people were posting photos of interesting celluloid patterns from third tier brands. Since then I've been adding them to my collection whenever one catches my eye for the right price. Stainless steel nibs, thin plating and plastics, but the patterns and colors can be truly stunning!
1. Signet bulb filler (grey marble from Parker, Sheaffer, and Eversharp)
2-4. Eberhard Faber Permapoint
5. Commander
6-7. Diamond Point (Parker Royal Challenger plastic)
8-9. Epenco
10. Colby
11. marked 'A' on the clip and lever (forgot which brand this is - American?)
12. No-name (in a pattern I've consecrated 'fish guts')
So what are your 3rd-tier jewels?
