The Admiral Fountain Pen  

Admiral Pen

 

 

I have only seen one of these pens. A Japanese collector at the Tokyo Pen show flaunted it around. He claimed that Admiral was a sub-brand of Sailor. However recently I found a blotter for the Admiral pen and this casts a lot of doubt to the speculation that Admiral was connected with Sailor. The address here is for Tokyo while Sailor was located near Hiroshima.

The pen he had was a very early 1920's lever-filler. You do not see those every day.

 

 

 

 

The Images

I would like to eventually ad an image of a pen or an advertisement for each of the pen makers in the database. Obviously a Herculean task. If you have an image to share, I would be happy to give you a link and credit.
