Marathon oversize fountain pen that was made in the USA in the late 1920s. The color of the pen is sometimes referred to as cracked ice. This is a variation of that color in that it is cream colored with burgundy veins. Marathon was a pen maker in NYC that made pens that closely resembled Morrison and Eclipse.  It is a lever fill  pen and it has been serviced.

This is a great example of a big Marathon pen. Beautiful and unusual color. The color isn't perfect on this pen but it is rare to find this color with perfect color. Ther barrel and the bottom of the cap have yellowed from age [or contact with the rubber parts of the pen]. The trim on this pens was only plated, so it is hard to find them with any gold left on the trim, this pen has almost all of it's plating.

Park Row oversize fountain pen that was made in the USA in 1920s. It is a lever fill  pen and it has been serviced and it is a good smooth writer. Park Row was a line of pens made by Eclipse and sold at a lower price with no guarantees.

Excellent writing pen with a smooth nib. Outstanding look with the jade end caps. This Parker Row is slightly shorter than others I have had. The thin cap band is also odd. If you took notice of the large vent hole in the nib, you may recognize that most of the Park Row pens have that large vent hole [probably the original nib].

Eagle coin filler fountain pen that was made in the USA in the 1920s. This pen was made by the Eagle pencil company.  Eagle made this pen for many years, I'm not sure of the first year, but they definitely were selling them in the 1920s. You simply pushed a coin into the slot in the barrel and pressed the pressure bar to fill the pen.  

Maker:
 Eagle

  standard

orange
Year: 
1920s
Country of Origin: 
USA
Cap Material:  
brass
Barrel Material:  
brass

slip on
Trim Material:
gold washed
Length with cap on
:
 5"
Nib Marking: 
Marvel
Nib Material: 
gold plated
Working condition:
It has not been serviced
Scratches or Cracks:
 
there are some chips on the enameled finish
Engravings:  
None
Plate wear:
 
there is some wear on the gold washed clip
Imprint:   
Eagle Pencil Co 
Imprint location:
clip
Filling system:
  coin fill

This is a nice bright example of an Eagle coin filler pen. These coin filler pens were a factory alteration of their old glass cartridge pen that were sold way back in the 1890s. The slot in the barrel and the pressure bar were added and even the section is the one that would accept the glass cartridge. I noticed that in the 1920s these pens were sold by Eagle for $7.50 a dozen to dealers.

Nice looking pen with unusual color. I didn't want to put a bladder in it, I like the fact that you can see the pressure bar move with the lever.

Marxton fountain pen that was made in the USA in late 1920s or early 30s. This is a lever fill  pen.  It has been serviced and it is a good smooth writer. Marxton was Eclipse's lower line of pens. They were named for the owner of Eclipse Marx Finstone.  This pen has a gold filled lever and cap band, but the clip is nickel. I would guess that they were trying to use up the nickel clips and had put a gold wash on it that has worn off from use. This pen was made from rod stock, not tubes.  

Maker: Marxton
Size: standard
Color:   cream and black marbled
Year:  1930s
Country of Origin:  USA
Cap Material:  plastic
Barrel Material:  plastic
Style:   balance / streamlined
Cap Style:  screw on
Trim Material:
gold filled cap band and lever, but nickel clip
Length with cap on: 5 5/16"
Nib Marking:  Warranted
14K
Nib Material:  14K Gold
Nib Flexibility:   almost a full  flex
Nib Width (tip): medium
Working condition: It has just been serviced
Scratches or Cracks:  none
Engravings:   None
Plate wear: I think the clip has lost it's gold wash
Imprint:   Marxton on clip
Imprint Condition: perfect
Filling system:  lever fill

Nice writing pen with a smooth nib. Nice color. This pen has the "generic" lever that mimicked the earlier Eclipse marked levers, but it just had lines on it instead of letters. That way one lever could be used on Eclipse or the lower line pens.

Lincoln eyedropper fill fountain pen that was made in the USA in 1899-1901.  Frazer and Geyer were partners with Arthur Waterman at this time and this pen uses the feed that Waterman controlled the patent for. The nib is marked Frazer + Co.   

Maker:  Frazer + Geyer
Model:  style #5 [according to their catalog, not marked on pen]
Color:  black
Year:  1899-1901
Country of Origin:  USA
Cap Material:  hard rubber
Barrel Material:  hard rubber
Cap Style:  slip on
Trim Material:
nickel
Length with cap on:  5 1/8"
Nib Marking: 
 Frazer & Co  New York No 2
Nib Material:  14K Gold
Nib Flexibility:  full flex
Nib Width (tip):  fine
Working Condition: I did not test this pen
Scratches or Cracks:  there is a crack in the section behind the nib
Engravings:   None
Imprint:  Ideal The Lincoln Pat July 20 1897
Imprint Location: barrel
Imprint Condition:   perfect
Filling System: Eyedropper Fill

This is a near mint pen except for the crack in the section. The crack runs from the outer edge of the section down about 1/4". I don't think ink will leak out of the crack, but I didn't want to try it. The nib needs to be set down better, but I didn't want to push it in all the way out of fear of making the crack worst.  This is a great piece of early pen history, even with the crack.

Morrison's fountain pen that was made in the USA in 1940s. Includes the original box and warranty paper. The back of the paper explains how it has their new Unipress filler which it claims will give equal pressure to the full length of the bladder. It is basically a j-bar with a flat bar attached.  

Maker: Morrison's
Color:  black
Year:  1940s
Country of Origin:  USA
Cap Material:  plastic
Barrel Material:  plastic
Cap Style:  screw on
Trim Material:
chrome plate
Length with cap on: 5 5/16"
Nib Marking:  none
Nib Material:  
steel
Nib Flexibility:  stiff
Nib Width (tip):  medium
Working Condition: It has not been serviced
Scratches or Cracks: none
Engravings:   None
Plate wear:  none
Imprint: Morrison's
Imprint Location: barrel
Imprint Condition: good
Filling System: Lever Filler 

This is an interesting Morrison's. Not a great pen, but a decent quality pen that belongs in someone's Morrison collection.  The bladder seems good, but I did not test it and I don't recommend using 50 year old bladders. The flap on one end of the box is loose.
