While collecting Burnham pens,leading to the Burnhamography, I also became interested in Good Service. So there is now a section in the Burnhamography site giving what I hope is a good perspective on Good Service and related Sears pens. Visit the renamed site "Burnhamography, Pens, Guppies" which contains the Good Service additions - and also some of my other obsessions of past days.......

Nice review.

Note that Gold Bond appears to have been a store brand (as with Diamond Medal for Sears) of Montgomery Ward.

Too, the modified Vacumatic (black-band filling unit) seen in some Good Service pens made by Parker for Sears, might account (parallel development) for occasionally seen black-band Vacumatic, proper, pens.

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, I knew about the Montgomery Ward connection of Gold Bond - but not enough to make useful comments. Also, what are the connections of Gold Medal?
