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" which was made around 1938. It is made from Black Celluloid with a chased pattern to the cap and barrel. It has not been used and it still has the original shop label on the cap.

The plunger filling system, deliciously quirky but extremely efficient, has been fully serviced with a new washer and cork seals fitted.

The 14ct gold nib is in excellent condition and writes beatifully with a Fine line. The nib has a nice flex to it which gives a lovely shape to your handwriting.

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