(Platinum) S*n President Rk14

[baxtrom]

Hi pen enthusiasts,

 

my mother kindly provided me with a fountain pen that she had purchased some decades ago, probably in the 60s or 70s, which has a "s-n" logotype and the words "president" and "RK14" on the cap. I understand this pen was made by the japanese manufacturer "Platinum" but am interested in knowing more about it.

 

It has a filling mechanism which I assume is a variant on the Parker aerometric system.

 

On Platinum's website there is a "President" line of fountain pens, but they are traditional cigar type pens and are marketed as the company's "flagship" pen.

 

So, does anyone know anything about this particular pen? It writes well, although by miracle it produces black strokes when filled with blue Parker Quink . (I didn't flush it before filling so I guess there was some old clogged up black ink left in it..)
