Burnham?

[Pentathlete]

Hi.

 

I'd be grateful for advice, please.

 

I have several Burnham B48s/51s and have just purchased what was advertised as a Burnham pen. It's flanked by the 2 dips in the link.

 

I was convinced that it isn't a Burnham - it looks to streamlined for a pen made by a company that closed in 1965 - but it was cheap and I was willing to take a chance. The nib reads Burnham 14ct and Non Corrosive is imprinted on the barrel. I was really after the nib.

 

Any views on whether the pen is a Burnham would be appreciated, please.

 

Best.

 

Paul

This Burnham blog site might be useful, although I can't tell how up-to-date it is.

Hi Nigel.

 

I'm very grateful for your reply. I know Alan Charlton's site well and had written to him. Another contact has said that the streamlined style is typical of a desk pen but cannot confirm that it is a Burnham. I'll await its arrival, check for any other markings and update.

 

Thanks for your interest and help.

 

Best.
