Hi FPN, I have a 'like' new in box vintage Japanese fountain pen call "ART". Since I have never heard of this pen I am looking to see if anyone else has heard of this pen? If it were not for the box I would have thought it was inscribed with the owner's name Art. The box reads "Art Kogyo Co., LTD. Japan Tokyo. The cap clip has R14K, what does the "R" stand for? On the internet some jewlery says "R" stands for rolled gold, can someone confirm this is true? The cap band also has R14K marked. The nib reads: OSMIRIDIUM/ 14K GOLD/ 3231/ JIS/ PARLEY This pen is a squeeze converter. Thank you for any information that you can share, Pen_Padawan

Hi FPN, I have a vintage Japanese fountain pen, the only name is on the cap clip, it says "CAP CLIP". I do not know if this is the name or just a discription, but I will call it Cap Clip since there is no other markings on the pen. I was drawn to this fountain pen because of the filling mechanism, it looks like an ebonite cartridge, I have never seen any other pen with this system. The cartridge is sealed at the end but there is also a big notch cut out towards the end of the cartridge (not sure how this would work). The cartridge is threaded to screw on and off the section. The nib is steel and reads: IDEAL PEN/ HARDEST/ IRIDIUM/ POINTED/ 3. If anyone knows anything about this pen or filling mechanism please educate me, thank you. Pen_Padawan
