Belmont was a Rexall Pharmacy store brand. Not sure if Rexall made them or to whom it outsourced the label. Some are nice pens. I have tended to view the name as a 2nd-tier label (certainly not 3rd tier), though really I've not done enough research. Perhaps the label is "small but first quality". I don' t insist.
I found one at the Feb 2011 Los Angeles Pen Show that was rather a stunner. An oversized streamlined pen with quality trim, big enough nib, and killer celluloid.
How does that trope run... "What else could I do? I bought it"
Thought I'd share the image.
