Once upon a time we did a lot of buying in England. Rummaging through some of our storage areas turned up some fine items bought long ago -- mostly Conway Stewart in this lot, along with a lovely 1930s Onoto set.
15541: Conway Stewart 15 in box: black-veined red pearl lever-filler, 12.6 cm long, nickel plated trim, made in England, crisp imprints, excellent condition but for some nibble marks around lever opening and at cap mouth (casein plastics can be attacked by insects, and should be kept away from water).
DATE: c. 1953 • CONDITION: fine • NIB: fine flex • SOLD
15539: Conway Stewart 38 set in box: 388 lever-filler and matching 18 pencil in lavender pearl celluloid with gold plated clips, gold filled trim. Pencil uses 1.1 mm lead.
DATE: c. 1953 • CONDITION: exc-near mint • NIB: medium fine semiflex • SOLD
15543: Conway Stewart 550 Dinkie set in box: gold-veined red pearl miniature lever-filler, 10.3 cm long, gold plated trim, matching twist-action 25 pencil uses 1.1 mm lead. Nib opens with only slight pressure, not for the heavy-handed. Lovely material is casein-based, should be kept away from water.
DATE: c. 1955 • CONDITION: fine-exc • NIB: medium flex • $225
15542: Conway Stewart 150 in box: green "Pressac" squeeze-filler, gold plated trim; original rubber sac has been replaced with a Parker-style transparent PVC sac. Notable nib.

15540: De La Rue Onoto set in box: fully covered gold filled lever-filler, 12.3 cm long, matching twist-action pencil uses 1.1 mm lead. Notably calligraphic nib.

15552: John Holland 72: long black chased hard rubber hatchet-filler with solid 14K gold cap band; 14.5 cm long, even wear and fading, slender #12 nib and narrow feed, chip missing from cap lip (see details) does not affect function, lip could readily be invisibly restored if desired.
DATE: c. 1916 • CONDITION: G-VG* • NIB: medium fine flex • $325
15533: Mabie Todd Fyne Poynt pencil: red with gold plated cap, 12.5 cm long, uses 1.1 mm lead, crisp imprint, unused eraser, but plating wear to nose cone and general handling wear.

15549: Moore Servo: black chased hard rubber lever-filler, 13.1 cm long, gold filled trim, new old stock with original price band but with surface fading and shop wear. Moore #4 nib is probably a replacement, as Servo was a subbrand that normally did not have the Moore name.

15535: Parker Duofold: green and brown pearl button-filler with black stripes, 12.8 cm long, gold filled trim, good imprint with 4th quarter date code, section without ink window is probably an replacement, as the nib has a correct imprint but 1952 date code.
