This is a beautiful example of a Swallow combo. It does have some age
cracks in the barrel, but it hasn't really weakened the pen, it is still a
good solid pen. I think the bright color makes up for the cracks. Smooth
writer. The pencil does work. |

Unusual colored Swan. Decent writer, but not a great writer. The color is
nice and bright, but there is some discoloration to the barrel. The 2
cap bands are set into a black plastic band. It seems like a lot of extra
work but Swan seemed to do that a lot. The lever still locks down. |

Nice writing pen with a smooth nib. The imprint is light in spots, but I
think it was just struck poorly. Unusual markings on the nib. This pen is
all gold filled, not really an overlay. This pen is very similar to pens
sold by Edward Todd. They may have been made by the same maker. |

Swan Mabie Todd fountain pen that was made in the

Imprint Condition: excellent
This is a nice pen in a hard to find color but it is cracked. Good writer.
I put a little cement on the section to stabilize the barrel, but you can
get the section out with a little heat if you want to fix the crack. The
other crack is in the corner of the lever opening and goes out 1/4".

Swan Mabie Todd
pencil from the 1920s. It is pearl
and black veined plastic with gold filled trim. No trim wear. Works
great. This pencil would match a 42 or 44 Swan flattop pen. 5 1/16" long.
There is a crack near the top just below the derby. The derby is hard to
pull off and someone had used something to pry it off at one time leaving
some small marks. |
