OLDWIN Classic Torpedo Black & Red Mottled Hard Rubber MHR Fountain Pen

Description: OLDWIN Classic Torpedo Black & Red Mottled Hard Rubber MHR Fountain Pen The background information to this unusual MHR Classic Oldwin is particularly interesting and I'm glad to share it with you. A few years ago, during the Ohio pen show, Mr Mora has acquired a 48cm rod of vintage Mottled Hard Rubber. Back in France only two Classic Oldwin were produced using this nice vintage material. The concerned pen is therefore extremely rare and a unique opportunity to elevate your Oldwin Collection. 18k - 750 OLDWIN Paris Medium (M) nib (N°7, made in Germany by Bock). Gold plated bronze clipEbonite feedCartridge/Converter, fitted with a converter (the converter is included)Handmade in FranceIt comes together with the original burgundy display box (Made in France as well). The pen measures (capped) 15,5cm This is the cartridge converter version, not the piston version (ASC). Easy to clean and manage with international converter. A modern torpedo-shaped Classic Oldwin fountain pen from the homonymous French manufacturer, the in-house brand of Paris-based store Mora Stylos (7 Rue de Tournon, 75006 Paris). This small French brand has, with good reason, a devoted following in the pen community. CONDITION REPORT: Unused. Full set configuration. Please be aware that this is a vintage material. Oldwin is the trademark that Boris MORA, father of André MORA deposited when he moved to Paris, rue Charlot in 1930. Russian immigrant, leaving Russia from the fallen tsars, Boris Mora became passionate about jewelry and trained as a jeweler. His lack of discernment of colors, problematic in jewelry, will push him to move towards wholesale stationery. It was at this time that the company Mora was born, and the brand dedicated to this universe: Oldwin. Why a name with an Anglo-Saxon consonance? It was the trend of the time. The manufacturing is French, mainly developed in the Jura. Boris Mora will travel the country selling his pens and spare parts for old pens. At that time, all the pen sellers knew how to repair themselves the objects which they proposed in their workshops. For 30 years, Boris will develop the Oldwin brand by presenting a hundred models of fountain pens, balls and mechanical pencils. The arrival of the ballpoint pen will force him to stop the brand. From rue Dauphine to rue Séguier, since 1991 installed on rue de Tournon, André MORA took over from his father in 1978. Passionate about writing, faithful to the craft techniques inherited from his father and refined in contact with renowned Parisian restaurateurs , combining new technologies, André Mora will take over the company, developing the range of modern pens and expanding the department dedicated to old pens. The shop has become the essential place for writing enthusiasts, demanding and loyal customers, adepts of beautiful objects and rare pieces. The year 2002 saw the advent of a new line of Oldwin fountain pens, the "Classic" with a clean line, sober and without a ring. Model with oval tips which has become a staple of the brand. First available in black plexiglass, then in colored celluloid and ebonite, some copies of the "Classic" will be produced in sculpted silver or solid gold as well.
