Carey never seemed to advertise much but they did sell some
beautiful overlay fountain pens. Their overlays rivaled the best
from Waterman and Parker, but probably didn't sell outside of the
NY, Boston and Philadelphia areas [where they had offices]. Their pens all seem to be
eyedropper fill with some middle joint pens. They made very few pens
that weren't overlays. Carey was involved in repairs and selling
other brands of pens, so he probably was just assembling pens from
parts purchased around New York City rather than being a
manufacturer. I believe the only clip I've ever seen on a Carey was
a VV clip with the Carey marking. One other interesting trivial fact
about Carey is some of their pens have the price imprinted on the
barrels. |
