#39067 Is this an Osmia?

Posted by Parcival on 31 December 2014 - 09:40 AM in OTHER EUROPEAN and ASIAN PENS

This is certainly a pen before the war. I think this is a later version of the button filler Osmia's - about 1935 and shortly thereafter.

Here is an older version - Lapis Osmia Minor, Parker Duofold Streamline style - 1932-35:

Osmia Minor Nib

This pen is Streamline style - 1932-35. There are Osmia flat top Duofold style - 1930-32. I think your pen is later. After 1935. I have two or three with only one ring - black and pearl and black.

#39043 Is this an Osmia?

Soon I bought one pen Osmia from France. It has no inscription of the body - I guess that disappeared with time, but there are number - 226 at the end of the barrel. The nib is not genuine.

#38595 MABIE TODD SWAN - IDENTIFICATION

Posted by Parcival on 29 November 2014 - 08:37 AM in Post Your Pen Finds

I made photos with information from the book МТ&Co, but I can not show them here because they are large. If you want, I can send them an e-mail. This is 142/31 model, from USA, late 20's. The pen is not in good condition, but is subject to restoration.

I have one similar to that shown here pen - cracked blue-green ice, branded Helm /Montblanc sub brand???/. It has a button filler with black hard rubber blind cap.
