Description;

Thomas De La Rue Ltd began manufacturing the Onoto range in 1905 and they quickly eastablished themselves in an already densely populated marketplace. The pens were successful because of the excellent quality of the materials used and the superior design of the filling system. Onoto pens were as good, if not better, than all their contemporaries including Parker, Watermans and Conway Stewart.

This is a superb example of the Onoto's "The Pen" finished in the very desirable Green Marble with gold filled trim. The pen dates from the mid 30's. The plunger filling system, deliciously quirky but extremely efficient, has been fully serviced with a new washer and cork seals fitted.

The pen itself is in very good condition, the pattern is crisp and the pen only has very minor marks and scratches commensurate with light use.

The 14ct gold nib is in excellent condition and writes beatifully with a Broad side of Medium line.

Onoto pens are fabulous writing instruments and will give years of faithful service.
