NYC Prolific maker of fountain pens. Started out with
eyedropper and eventually moved on to lever fillers. They made some low
and medium quality eyedroppers. Their early eyedropper pens were very low
quality, they may have just been buying these pens and marking them with
their name. The later eyedroppers improved in quality. Their
eyedroppers included mother of pearl mounted and also gold filled
and sterling overlays. They also
sold a line of blo filler pens. After switching over to lever fill pens in
the 20s, their quality really seemed to pick up and they made some
very nice flattop pens that are very similar to the National Pen
Products lines. They sold a full line of men's and ladies pens
and even a long/short pen. Sometime in the 1920s they started
marking their pens "New Diamond Point". Their pen line went downhill
in the 1930s and these pens just seem to have been purchased from
another company and marked Diamond PP. They seemed to have
focused on selling desk sets in the 1930s. Their trademarks included
Blofil , Protector, Diamond Point and Selfill. |
