Default boston safety pen

I have a nice sterling filigree over black rubber pen that I need more
info on.

It has two pat. dates (jan 25,04 on barrel and july 5,1904 on cap). Also
boston safety pen on nib. It is 9cm closed. The filigree is vine and
leaves.

Any info would be great.

thanks---Chris

Hi Chris,

I'm sure the info you are seeking is out there, but acpp has very low
viewership. I'd recommend you post your query over on www.fountainpennetwork.com
in the "Writing Instruments" sub-forum. The Fountain Pen Network has
over 20K members which includes a large vibrant group of vintage pen
collectors and restorers. Someone out there either knows the answer
or has access to a reference work that will cover your pen. It's just
a matter of getting enough people to see your message.

Hope to see you over there!

Love silver filigree.


wipe away drool / spittle just thinking about a Boston

Can post some pictures somewhere? Couldn't find any in my own search.

Brief overview about Boston Pen at
http://www.pensandwatches.com/_pages...en_company.htm

Infer you already know pen is from 1904 to 1917 & from its length was
probably 'baby' or vest model. Since you didn't mention lever or sliding
collar infer pen is eye-dropper?

Maybe regulars here know of others, but for filigree/overlay questions have
you tried asking David at Vintage Pens? Very knowledgeable about filigree &
overlay pens from that time.
