Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this very scarce and desirable Circa 1928 Mabie-Todd SWAN Fountain Pen in the Tangerine Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in wonderful writing condition.

NOTE: The celluloid is Tangerine, not Coral. This color celluloid is extremely difficult to acquire in Swan fountain pen. 

I have ultrasonically cleaned the feed and section. I hand-cleaned the inside of the barrel and cap. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new silicone sac. Hand polished the Gold Filled Clip, Gold Filled Trim cap banding, lever, and Mabie-Todd & Co N.Y. #2 Stub 14K NIB. There is no wear on the clip. There is no wear on the cap banding. There is a hint of wear on the lever arm. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the cap and barrel to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the celluloid of this fountain pen.

This fountain pen is made from celluloid in the orange swirl pattern commonly known as Tangerine. The coloring is vibrant and gorgeous with no staining or dark areas. The barrel has a very good imprint at the center of the barrel that reads, "SWAN LOGO (the Swan logo is light) TRADEMARK "SWAN" SELF-FILLING PEN MABIE TODD & CO NEW YORK PATS. JAN 26. 04. MAY 21. 18. PAT. PDG.". The top if the cap has the Swan logo and the butt end of the fountain pen has the model number 142/51.

The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalizations on the barrel or cap. There are no cracks or repairs to the celluloid. This Mabie-Todd Swan measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 6 5/8" posted.

The lever assembly has been cleaned, polished, and greased. It works flawlessly and smoothly. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills wonderfully.

This pen has a spectacular flexible 14K Mabie-Todd & Co N.Y. #2 Stub NIB. When measuring the actual tip of the NIB, it measures .95mm with digital calipers. When creating the writing sample the NIB writes with a fine line measuring roughly .53mm on the horizontal strokes and flexes up to a triple broad stroke of 1.89mm when using medium to firm pressure. The writing sample provided was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue Ink.

This vintage Swan Fountain Pen is sleek, refined, and has vibrant coloring. This Tangerine Celluloid is extremely scarce but really makes a statement and doesn't get much better than this. I would consider this Swan to be in Excellent Condition. It is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
