Looking & Learning

[RandiSue]

Hi Everyone,

I have inherited a bunch of beautiful pens and I have been spending time trying to learn more about them. I'm looking for guidance in the right direction for details. I love reading about the facts and what to enjoy about each detail of the pen, along with the history.

I attached a picture of one group I have been trying to learn about.

Most of these are Levenger since I have been trying to understand why the black and silver have Levenger printed but then the clip has rOtring? Are these L-tech pens?

Also, the set of 3 larger Levenger don't look like the other regular size Levenger pens. I really like these and I want to know more.

Before I go further, I know I need to post this in another area. Where do I need to post my questions? I have more brands I want to learn about.

I have really enjoyed what I have read so far. I'm looking forward to learning more about my collection.

Thanks!

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. Levenger does not make pens but often rebrands pens under the Levenger name.

Welcome !

 

How wonderful that you have been chosen to cherish these heirlooms ! From whom have you inherited them ?

 

By the types of some of the instruments, I think part of the source was a person, who drew, or was a draftsman. Do some of the pens have a "stylograph" point, rather than a fountain pen nib ? Rotring literally means "rot ring", which translates to "red ring", hence the trademark.

 

The silver instrument might have a "clutch", that opens and closes, when the button is pressed.

If so, it would "clutch" , or grasp, a length of pencil lead, and is not a pen after all.

 

I look forward to learning from the answers that are coming, and from the discussion that follows.

 

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to the Fountain Pen Network. Glad you have joined us. You, having joined us, make us better. This is now your place as much as it is ours. Please don't be shy. Ask all the questions you have and don't hesitate to state your opinions.

Levenger offers many good quality pens made for them by different manufacturers. That means your search for answers to your questions may be a bit longer than if they were labeled by a different manufacturer. Don't give up. Try posting your question and pictures in the forum for first fountain pens and dip pens. I wish you very good luck.

I hope you enjoy your time here.

-David (Estie).
