Vintage Namiki fountain pens 1930s

I have decided to start a new blog for my vintage fountain pen collection since I could no longer sign in for my previous blog.

Of all the vintage fountain pens, the most difficult to find must be the vintage Namiki Maki E fountain pens. I first get to know these vintage Namiki more than 20 years ago from my Sifu, Mr. TK Lee. As these pens are very rare, I have only managed to find three, one from my Sifu and two from an auction more than 10 years ago.

After a gap of more than 20 years years, I have finally managed to find another from a German collector. Just place a deposit for this beauty and hopefully I can get them before the end of the month.

Namiki Maki-e No.2, around 1930, original 14ct nib with 14ct band, Maki-e showing senmen (fans) design, worn.


















For some strange reason, I can no longer sign in to my previous blogs as follows:
