Vintage Edison Fountain Pen

[iambildo]

Hello, My grandfather and I are looking for information on this old pen.

I can't find a similar pen anywhere on google/ebay/various vintage pen sites.

 

Other writing you can't see in the pics:

7 1/2P on the bottom end.

Edison Fountain Pen Petersburg, VA hidden under the cap.

 

Here's a few pictures:

Thank you for clicking

As a real Petersburg lover, this is really cool. I interned there two two summers during law school and grew to love this fallen city. It's dripping with history...and sadly to say both poverty and crime in this era.

 

I'm sure Brian Gray might also love this one, though.

Yes, Brian will want it for the factory museum.

You might want to take a look here.

Another one came in today's mail. I'll post a pic here after I get it cleaned up.

Thanks guys.

So what should we do with this?

Worth anything?

Does this Brian fellow check the forum?

Ink it up and enjoy it.

 

Worth anything?

 

Badly dented. A few pen-smiths do that kind of repair, but it's costly; probably more than the restored pen would fetch.

 

Does this Brian fellow check the forum?

 

Brian Grey is a talented pen maker who's company, Edison Pen Co is in Ohio. I think Joe and Jimmy were just kidding.

 

 

Here's the little Repousse Ring Top that arrived yesterday. A small pen, barely 3½ inches capped. Model 6½E

Are you looking to sell it or get it fixed up so you can use it?

[iambildo]

I was looking to sell it.

Didn't pick up on the first two replies being a joke, you got me, I told my grandfather he had something special

Oh well. Thanks to the replies that were helpful.

You may want to list it as is rather than having it restored first, the cost of resoration will cut into the sale price. Unrestored you wont get as much money though and it may take time to sell.

I'm tight on money right now or I'd make an offer.
