Anyone Have Info To Share On My "new" Bchr Fountain Pen Purchase - Sears Roebuck And Co.

Yesterday I stopped by a usual place I check out regularly and bought a batch of vintage pens he had. One of the pens was the one pictured below. I have read some of the posts about what companies made Sears pens, but this one only has the Sears Roebuck and Co. logo. It has a slip on cap. The barrel does not have any writing on it but the cap does. And yes, the logo is doubled printed on the cap. It has a pretty worn "Warranty 14K" nib. Other than the nib, it is in great condition. It came with the box (no instructions). It is BCHR and probably early 1920's. It measures 5 3/4-inches capped, 4 13/16-inches uncapped and 6 3/4-inches posted..

 

I would appreciate any information any of your could share with me about this pen since there is so-o-o little on the web.

They came as a boon, and a blessing to men,
The Pickwick, the Owl and the Waverley pen

Very nice pen, more the better class of an Economy pen due to the large gold colored cap ring. Nice and ornate one too. :thumbup:

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.
