Description;

Thomas De La Rue Ltd began manufacturing the Onoto range in 1905 and they quickly established 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 very early example of the Onoto's Patent Self Filling Pen made from Black chased hard rubber. 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 excellent condition, the chasing to the barrel is crisp and the imprint is clear and bright.

The 14ct gold nib is in excellent condition and writes beautifully with a Fine line. The nib has a wonderful flex to it which gives a lovely shape to your handwriting. This is the very early model with the over/under feed. It is much rarer than the later models.

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