Original Description:
Up for auction today is a nice, vintage 1940s BIG BENB E N C O 103Fountain penBlack & GF trimMade in DenmarkHistoryThe pen was made in Denmark by a famous Danish manufacturer - The Benzon Trading Company. The Benzon Pen Co. was an importer of Wahl-Eversharp pens for Danish market. Because they often imported celluloid used to make their pens through Valentine Pen Co (Parker and Eversharp imported into England), many of their pens were made with the same kind of ...plastics as the big names such as Wahl-Eversharp, Montblanc  and Parker. Benzon often used Eversharp celluloid (as seen on Eversharp Airliner Dorics) on some of their own 1930s Big Ben brand pens and some Parker plastics on their BENCO pens.The BENCO (this name is the contraction of Ben[zon Pen]Co) brand was mainly styled after Parker Duofold line from the early 1930s but this model was likely made by Hebborn in the 1930s, as it shares the design features with the Big Ben brand Danish pens. This pen was made ebonite (BHR), with Big Ben snake clip and a milled coin cap band.BENCOItems conditionGood vintage condition. The pen shows some signs of normal everyday use (there is some wear to the gold trim - please see photos) but otherwise it is still nice and presentable. The piston filler works as it should and the pen writes with a fine line.The button filler has been restored with new sac and the pen’s ready to fill and write. Filling systemsThe pen has button-filling system and the pen fills and writes as it should. Just unscrew the blind cap located on the barrel end, dip the nib in ink bottle, press the button 2-3 times to fill the pen with ink; wipe the pen point with soft tissue and you're ready to go.NibsThis is a 14k solid gold Big Ben nib and the writing point writes with a fine line with a bit of flex/line variation (F-M) and nice ink shadingDimensions:Length: capped - c. 13 cmLength: uncapped - c. 11.7 cm Length: posted - c. 15.8cm Shipping: U.K. shipping will cost £5.50 for the Royal Mail Special Delivery, £4.50 for standard signed for service.
