Dick, who kindly welcomed me to FPN in the welcome thread, asked if I would post a picture or two of some of the pens I mentioned in that thread. Well I am happy to do this, First of all, here from the 1920s is a Macniven & Cameron Waverley No 3 fountain pen. As with a number of my pens, it is in fact a Frankenpen having an early USA-made Mabie Todd stub nib. Note the image of Sir Walter Scott on the clip - a reference to Sir Walter's "Waverley" series of novels. The second pen is another M&C product, just stamped "The Waverley Pen". I suppose it could date from any tmie from the 1930s to the 1950s. One can imagine this one in the hands of an especially dour Aberdonian Bank Manager - as he signs the letter which informs the unfortunate client that his account is "overdrawn in the sum of £87 15s 9d." and would the client let the Bank have "a remittance at his earliest convenience"!
