I need some help identifying a pen

[MattyTheSilly]

Hello o/
I am new here and I just wanted to ask... Does anyone know anything about these two pens?
I am having a hard time trying to identify them. My father bought them when he was living in California back in the early 80's but he can't recall anything besides that.
Any information will be huge o/

Your pens look like Desk Dip Pens...they seem to be kind of Esterbrook dip pens...in fact..if they are that I think..you do not have the inkwells...nevertheless I am not sure at all...photos attached,Regards.

Thank you so much! o/
So looks like my father mismatched them back in the day! This is a huge lead o/

They are not Esterbrook. Probably a Morriset.

Hello! Well... I forgot to add a detail :c
The nibs are made by Morriset/Have the Morriset logo
I have a spare nib with a carboard cylinder container... That says Morriset Medium nib
Any ideas?

[FarmBoy]

I’m gonna stick with Morriset.

Those look like Morrisets. @FarmBoy already linked to one of my posts about them. I have a number of the ink wells in addition to the pens. 

 

They're not fountain pens. They are essentially dip pens with a fountain pen type nib and feed. This allows them to write for longer than a normal dip pen. The ink wells that went with them came in lots of colors and were often embossed for companies. 

 

They work quite well for testing out new inks. Just make sure you flush out the feed thoroughly and drying the pen before trying them in different inks. A paper towel held up to the nib and feed until nothing else comes out will get out enough of the water to try another dip.

were there ever any ink cartridge versions of these?

Not that I know of.
