Clipper "AIR-FLOW"

[hari317]

Clipper was one of the brands of pens made by Mhatre pens and plastics in Mumbai, India. Mhatre used to manufacture various pens under license e.g. the Watermans 63, Swan etc.

 

I found this AIR FLOW model this weekend, it is a nice squeeze filler with a stylish clip (Eversharp?)

Hari,

 

thank you for another great Indian pen. You should think about posting some of this in Pen History. You are probably the only person I have seen on the net working on collecting and documenting vintage Indian pens and it is very, very appreciated.

 

You might even think about doing an article - I am sure that the Pennant or WES magazine would be interested in it.

 

Great stuff!

Wow, sure reminds me of a Wahl-Eversharp Fifth Avenue pen!

 

Thanks for the great photos, Hari!

Hari, Johnny Appleseed has suggested the same thing which I suggested may be six months before!! So, take your time and carry on my friend!!

Photography and finding is as usual superb!

Thanks for sharing.

Abhik.

Thanks to you all! I am encouraged to post more about Indian pens. It is nice to know the enthusiasm in this forum for pens from all parts of the world.

Hari
