Owners of Conway Stewart pens include the British royal family, prime ministers, US presidents, and Heads of State from around the world. It is only fitting to pay homage to one of the most important events of the British history, The Great Exhibition of 1851.
Handcrafted, the Great Exhibition fountain pen measures a rather large 8 inches when closed. In keeping with the grand nature of the Great Exhibition itself, we have designed the Great Exhibition Pen to be an impressive addition to our line.
The size of the Great Exhibition Pen immediately grabs attention. The impressive nature of the Great Exhibition does not stop there. The overlay is crafted by hand by the renowned English craftsman, Henry Simpole. This design is timeless and is reminiscent of the classic British overlay pens crafted in the early 1900s.
Each pen carries the English Assay hallmark authenticating the precious metal overlay. The pen, mounted with a solid 18-carat gold nib, delivers a smooth wet line.
In keeping within this historic theme, Conway Stewart chose to utilized a filling mechanism typically used in the late 1800s, the Eye Dropper. Using modern materials and taking full benefit of the size of this great pen, the ink capacity is equivalent to 8 x ink cartridges!
