The Conway Stewart 75, introduced around 1952, featured a nickel plated trim, making it a little less expensive than the gold trim models. As it was exactly the same as the more expensive pens in terms of quality, it represented excellent value and sold well.
This is a fine example, finished in marbled burgundy and pink, it is a most attractive, good sized, high quality English lever filler. At 12.6 cm. capped and an impressive 15 cm, 6 inches, posted for use it is a good sized and well balanced pen.
The pen has been restored and tested. It fills well, and the 14 Ct. gold Conway Stewart nib writes with a super smooth fine line, ideally suited to someone with small handwriting. It requires only the lightest of touches, an important consideration at a time when pens were often used for extended periods.
The finish is excellent with a deep lustrous shine and a clear barrel imprint. The trim is in excellent order and the cap secures with a smooth screw fit. The nickel plating is not as 'harsh' andgives a more attractive effect than chrome.
Conway Stewart are renowned as one of the finest English pen manufacturers and this pen demonstrates, even after over 70 years, that their reputation was well deserved.
