Conway Stewart & Co. Ltd.
The pen was made by:
CONWAY STEWART & CO. LIMITED
the celebrated British pen manufacturer established in London in:
1905
Conway Stewart became one of the best-known names in British fountain pens and produced a wide range of colourful, stylish writing instruments throughout the 20th century.
The company is particularly admired for its use of attractive marbled and patterned materials, making surviving examples highly collectable today.
Green Marbled Finish
One of the strongest visual features is the beautiful:
GREEN MARBLED BODY
with contrasting darker tones and gold-coloured trim.
This type of patterned finish is especially associated with classic British fountain pens of the 1930s–1950s.
The material may be:
CELLULOID
EARLY PLASTIC
RESIN
depending upon the exact model and production date.
The swirling green pattern gives the pen excellent display appeal.
14 Carat Gold Nib
The pen is fitted with a:
14CT GOLD NIB
a particularly desirable feature on vintage fountain pens.
Gold nibs were valued for their resilience, corrosion resistance and writing feel.
Please inspect the photographs for any visible nib inscription, maker’s wording or size designation.
The gold description applies to the nib where marked and should not be taken to imply that the remainder of the pen or trim is solid gold.
Box & Original Paperwork
A major advantage of this example is the presence of the:
CONWAY STEWART PRESENTATION BOX
together with:
INSTRUCTION SHEET
GUARANTEE PAPERWORK
Surviving accessories can add significantly to the appeal of a vintage pen, helping preserve its period character and collector context.
Please inspect the photographs to confirm the exact wording, branding, condition and completeness of the papers and box.
Possible No. 85L
The pen may correspond to a:
CONWAY STEWART No. 85L
or a closely related mid-century model.
However, Conway Stewart produced many similar pens with closely related shapes and finishes.
The exact model should therefore be confirmed from:
BARREL IMPRINT
CAP MARKINGS
ORIGINAL PAPERWORK
DIMENSIONS
rather than appearance alone.
No exact model number is guaranteed unless clearly marked.
British Fountain Pen Design
Conway Stewart pens are celebrated for their combination of:
COLOUR
CRAFTSMANSHIP
PRACTICAL DESIGN
BRITISH MANUFACTURING
During the mid-20th century, fountain pens were everyday working tools, but manufacturers also treated them as attractive personal accessories.
The vibrant marbled finishes used by Conway Stewart are now one of the main reasons collectors seek them out.
