For those interested in the history of Onoto, the englishpenbooks.co.uk website has just been updated to include a 'New finds' section that can be accessed directly at
http://www.englishpe...o.uk/new-finds/
This features a number of pens that were too late to be included in Steve Hull's book 'Onoto the Pen: De La Rue and Onoto Pens 1880-1960'. Probably the most interesting of these are a number of recently discovered Onoto prototype pens of the mid-1950s (additional to those shown on p293 of the book) showing the direction the company's pens may have taken had it not ceased pen manufacture in the UK in 1958.

Edited to add
I've now included a couple more items that I had initially forgotten on the New Finds page above - one stylo and part of a 1923 leaflet. The page has now been moved from its original location, so I have updated the link above as well. If you are interested, you'll also find some preliminary information on my own work in progress '50 Years of the Dinkie - 1922 to 1972' on the What's New page of the same website.
