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. |

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.

orange

1920s
Country of Origin:
USA
Cap Material:
brass

brass

slip on
Trim Material:
gold washed
Length with cap on: 5"

Marvel
Nib Material:
gold plated
Working condition:
It has not been serviced

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. |

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

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.

catalog, not marked on pen]

Year: 1899-1901

hard rubber
Barrel Material:
hard rubber
Cap Style: slip on
Trim Material: nickel
Length with cap on: 5 1/8"

& Co New York No 2
Nib Material:
14K Gold

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. |

equal pressure to the full length of the bladder. It is basically a j-bar
with a flat bar attached.

plastic

plastic

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. |
