History Of Europe's Sterling Silver Fountain Pens

By Carrie Sommer

A European sterling silver fountain pen contains the history and quality of the company that made it. Many European companies have been in business for decades, making their products have a timeless feel to them. The quality of these pens are unmistakable.

Italy's oldest pen company is Montegrappa. This company continues to make its instruments in the same factory the first pens were created in. A notable individual to use a Montegrappa instrument was Ernest Hemingway. The quality and overall elegance of these pens is unmatched by any other brand of Italian manufacturer.

British manufacturer Conway Stewart is a brand that has managed to reinvent itself and adapt throughout the years. Enjoying success in the 20s and 50s, the company lost sight of its vision during the 70s, and finally resurfacing in the early 1990s. By introducing ball point pens to its product range, Conway Stewart has continued to find customers for its products.

The limited edition writing instruments at Nettuno are a large part of showcasing the brand's commitment to casual collectors. These pens are often priced competitively in comparison to others, which makes them capable of withstanding good and bad fluctuations in the market. Nettuno creates luxurious, affordable pens as well as exclusive, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Pen enthusiasts at Bexley helped to create the brand that is known today. The combination of older and modern methods of manufacture make the pens have a healthy "best-of-both-worlds" feel. The company is run by collectors and enthusiasts of writing instruments, making it more accessible to serious collectors.

The company Conklin has been around for over one hundred years, and it show with their work. Established in 1898, Conklin instruments have become some of the most desirable to collectors across the globe. The exclusivity of these pens is unattainable by most companies, in that they are established from a long line of excellent products that have been made over the past century.
