Description:
Mentmore Fountain Pen - The Auto Flow Made in England Black with golden design barrel and cap and silver clip with Mentmore engraved logo.
Mentmore are or were the parent company of Platignum, this was a brand name used on their cheaper general market student range of pens, many with either tipped or folded point untipped steel nibs from 1926-8ish, may be a year or two earlier. Mentmore s upper range pens over the years were the Diploma, the Auto-flow, the Supreme, Imperial and a couple of others, they did several Ladies pens in smaller sizes the names of which escape me just now. The Auto-flow was effectively the button fill version being similar in size and furniture, the nibs were in general but not always roughly the same size and of the same quality as the Diploma, the other open nib pens with the Mentmore name on them like the Supreme are either uncommonly seen and or rather later.
