Description
The Conway Stewart Marlborough Vintage Rose Ripple recalls some of finest Conway Stewart pens from the 1920s. With straight parallel sides to the cap and barrel and two very wide solid 9ct gold bands around the barrel, the Marlborough looks like it has stepped right out of the Art Deco era. The serrated pattern around the top of the cap adds that special look.
The Conway Stewart Marlborough Rose Ripple is one of the few remaining vulcanite pens made today. This traditional hard rubber material was once the dominant material used in pen production, and was much loved as it is warm to the touch.
Vulcanite (also called Ebonite) is made from natural rubber which is heated with 10-32% Sulphur. As it is a rubber product, it has a distinctive smell that will remind you of vintage pens.
Polishing vulcanite is a skill that few have mastered, but our technicians work their magic to ensure that every Marlborough Vintage fountain pen is of the highest quality.
Fitted as standard with an 18ct gold size 6 nib available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium or Broad. The pen is also hallmarked to show the purity and quality of the 9ct gold bands.
