Big pen in the middle is a Univar. It is a particularly large one. There are also what looks like two Diamond Point pens. David likes these 'sub brand/rebadged/contract/etc' pens.

Hi Todd. Diamond Point is a 2nd/3rd tier independent brand. It's Diamond Medal that is the Sears hours brand. Still, Diamond Point has bit of a following, as the plastics often are very pretty. Both of these resemble the patterns seen on some better known brands, but I'm not investing in keeping that pair. The bonus Sheaffer 5-30 nib in the desk pen doesn't hurt
But, the Univer is the big boy in this bunch.
Doubt I've seen five since starting in the hobby. Sheaffer sub-brand (or perhaps re-badge; info on them is sparse)..

Yep. As per this thread

The three pens at right are black and pearl with a thin (presumably Celluloid) color coating.

Yes. I was referring to the Univer as the sub/etc pen but that wasn't clear.Hi Todd. Diamond Point is a 2nd/3rd tier independent brand. It's Diamond Medal that is the Sears hours brand.

Very nice Univer, David. I have one just like it... one of the first pens I found when starting to collect. I still remember getting it at an antique shop in North Beach for $15.
Mine has a Warrented 6 14k nib. What's in yours?
My real search is for the same pen in red and black. A local collector has one of those and he's looking for the green version like mine. I've seen the green upon occasion, but the red is very elusive.

Same nib. I have green and blue. I'd like a red OS
