Here is a lovely pen that sees little use. It is a Mabie Todd Swan made of solid gold. The cap/clip is marked 15k, the barrel is marked 15ct and made in New York, and it sports a No. 2 flexible nib marked Swan14ct and Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd. On the indicia area there is an engraving: LONDON 5-7-29 with lovely intertwined script initials.
I suspect JWK had a birthday celebration in London on the 7th of May, 1929, when the economy could still justify such an extravagant gift imported from Mabie Todd's New York facility.
