We'll begin the Mabie Todd section with a nice little flier circa 1926 PeteWK

I was thinking that the Sheaffer catalog section was getting a bit filled up with jpegs.? I have a lot of stuff about the Snorkel series and I didn't want them to get caught up in all that. The information coming in my next post is from a Sheaffer company seminar given to their Sales Force when the Snorkel f...

This excellent brand of pen is lesser known and the catalog is almost unknown. 1916 Aikin Lambert Catalog. Enjoy, PeteWK -- Edited by PeteWK at 21:33, 2007-09-25

I am still looking for any history I can find on Franklin Pens of Philadelphia. I believe they operated into the 1930's- they were a major player in the early days of pen making.... Frank

In the early period, the numbers seemed to have referred to one model, but with many styles allowed within that number, and later there were many style numbers for one model. Therefore I have taken to calling them "Model And Style Numbers". You'll see what I mean when you look at the updated...
