Conway Stewart Dinkie Pen and Duro Point  Pencil set, Stock No 1813
Conway Stewart Dinkie Pen and Duro Point  Pencil set, Stock No 1813
   

This is dark pink moiré pen and pencil set made in the early 1940s.  The pen has a short gold plated filler lever terminated with a small round shield. There is some slight barrel distortion around the lever. The cap has a single gold band, with clip retained by a black domed stud. The barrel's imprint is mainly deep and clear, reading "  "DINKIE"  Conway Stewart London". A more shallow third line reads  "No 540". The fine/medium nib is stamped "Conway Stewart 14CT GOLD", which writes smoothly. The ink sac has been replaced. The pen has no marks of marks of significance, and overall is a charming attractive pen.

The matching pencil, in dark pink moiré, has a short "diamond"clip . The black cap has been damaged, and now shows some longitudinal cracks. This can be seen in the photograph. The imprint is clear reading "DURO-POINT  NO 2R Conway Stewart London". The pencil lead is advanced by twisting the black end cap. It takes 0.048" / 1.24mm leads. Apart from the damaged cap the pencil has no marks of significance.

The pen and pencil come in a Conway Stewart box. Unfortunately the box has survived less well than its contents and is a bit tatty. The inside of the lid is printed Conway Stewart.
