The Jewel pen company is one of Britain's oldest, it was founded in 1884 as agents for American made pens. By the early 1900s the company was producing its own pens.
This Jewel 46 was only made between 1943 and 1945 and, judging from the scarcity of the pen, it did not sell in great numbers.
It's s very handsome, well made pen in a blue marbled pattern with Gold filled trim. In terms of quality it is as good as any pen from the period, and better than most.
The nib is Jewel's own brand, they called it a 'Super', it writes well with a little flex, a very pleasant writer.
