I was hoping that someone could help me out identifying what specific Mabie Todd Swan model I just acquired. I was in Manhattan the other day at a fountain pen store, with the intent of just getting some paper. But after spending a great deal of time experimenting with this Swan flex, I had to have it. Here are some photos:
This engraving reads:
WITH COMPLIMENTS
DOMINION DAIRY COMPANY, LTD
MADE BY MABIE, TODD & CO. LTD
The only internet info I've been able to glean about the dairy company shows there was one with this name in the UK.
I was using this quite a bit last night, and I really enjoy the nib. I don't have much experience with flex pens, as the only ones I have are the Noodler's Ahab. I've experimented with the Pilot Falcon on several occasions, but didn't care for it - the nib on that seems to "spring" rather than "flex" (if that makes any sense).
