Mid 20th Century
900 Silver German
Fend Ballpoint Pen
Classy 900 grade
silver German
made ballpoint pen by
FEND
I couldn’t find out a huge amount
about the Fend
company other than
that they started in either 1899
or 1900.
One source said they closed in 1967
and just read someone
else
saying it was the
1990s.
They were most famous
for their
multi-coloured
ballpoint pens and
propelling pencils
and this is what
seems to be mostly
for sale as well.
Not that there’s a
lot of any sort of
Fend pen for sale in comparison to
all the other high end vintage brands.
This one is also in the
original case with
the instruction
pamphlet in several
languages for models:-
FEND -
TRUXA 1
TRUXALETTE
MIGNON
I have not found any
with boxes like
this anywhere so this
makes it
extra extra special
although I think
it may be for a pen
and pencil set
as the blue elastic
is too big for just
one pen but perhaps
it has just
stretched – not sure.
We have another original vintage
Fend silver biro or pen in it's case
(which is listed
separately)
This one still has the
original Fend
refill inside! (see
photo) which has
either run out or dried out.
The shirt pocket clip
on this one
has a very Art Deco
style F
logo on it and is
engraved on
the other side
FEND 900
Germany
It is 10 sided with ‘pinstripe’
type
parallel line detailing
and on side
there’s a blank section
for personalising
but nothing has been engraved on it.
These pens probably
date to the 1950s
or 60s but this pen in particular has a
distinctly Art Deco
1930s look to it –
especially the clip’s
logo.
CONDITION
In excellent vintage condition
with few signs of age and use.
The press button function works.

The interior is fairly good but not great.
