Mabie Todd Swan Gold Chasing Patterns

[Silviu]

Not all Swan nibs are that flexible. Still nice. Here's another pattern I own:

Are Swan overlays named like Watermans? If they are where can this information be found?

I am not much of a researcher of primary ads or catalogs. That being said, David Moak did a lot of research and there are no names or model numbers for these pens in his book about Mabie Todd.

I have a couple of rolled-gold ringtops and one sterling...actually, two sterling but one has to go to the shop. They were well-priced and cleaned up really well, and the best thing about them are the nibs.

I'd think of them as writing instruments, rather than investment pieces.

I have a Swan BCHR pen (cannot show picture because I do l do not know how to upload). I cannot find any information about a model 5c (on cap) or C5 on the barrel end. The imprint on the barrel and the nib say that it was manufactured in Toronto. It has a split filler lever. Anyone know anything about this one?
