CS1129 Conway Stewart Dinkie No. 550 Fountain Pen and No. 25 Pencil Set, boxed (Soft Broad Stub)

Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 105mm capped; 128mm posted.

This is a very attractive Dinkie set in lovely glossy and unmarked green marbled with black vein casein.  Both pieces are in excellent condition with no damage that I could find. The box has kept both pen and pencil in excellent condition.  The caps have a small conical gold filled top button that holds on the pocket clips that have the "CS" monogram within a diamond at the top and another diamond at the bottom. 

Fountain Pen
The barrel imprint is crisp and deep and the cute little filling lever has the "CS" monogram imprinted in the circular end tab.  To the side of the barrel is a very crisp and clear imprint.  The nib is shiny and totally undamaged and is in a rather unusual broad stub point.

Pencil
The cap has a very good deep and crisp imprint.  The cap pulls off for access to the eraser holder - the original pink eraser has broken off and the stub is still in the metal holder.  The point is also gold filled.  The leads are propelled and repelled smoothly by twisting the cap.  I have fitted a fresh 1.18mm lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.

Box
A lovely green and brown "camouflage" pattern paperboard presentation case.  This is also in very nice condition.

I have fully serviced this set.  The nib writes very smoothly with a good consistent and wet line.  The stub nib will give you some very attractive and effortless line width variation from a fine to a good solid broad width.  

A beautiful set and a sought-after model in excellent condition throughout.
