Up for sale is a beautiful, fully authentic example of British fountain pen history:
A Mabie Todd Swan Minor SM200/60 self-filling lever pen, manufactured in England during the mid-to-late 1930s.

Often mistaken for hard rubber, the /60 factory designation guarantees this pen is crafted from Black Chased Celluloid (BCC). This means you get the stunning, tactile depth of the classic chevron/wave chasing design without any of the oxidation, browning, or water-sensitivity associated with ebonite. The pen remains a deep, glossy piano black.

• Imprints: The barrel features exceptionally sharp, deep factory stamps reading "SWAN" SELF-FILLER / MABIE, TODD & CO LTD / MADE IN ENGLAND alongside the iconic Swan logo.
