OLDWIN Classic Demi (MINI) Torpedo Arco Green (Verde) Celluloid Fountain Pen. 18k - 750 OLDWIN Paris Medium (M) nib N°6, made in Germany by. Cartridge/Converter, fitted with a converter. It comes together with the original burgundy display box (Made in France). The background information to this unusual "lady sized" Classic Oldwin (in French demi means "half") is particularly interesting and I'm glad to share it with you. A few years ago, around 2010, Mr Mora gave to Madame Christine Regnault, his loyal sales assistant, a Mini Oldwin in Arco Brown Celluloid. A little gem, never seen before in such mini format, offered as a sign of gratitude for her flawless and daily professionalism (obviously the pen is still with Christine on daily basis).

Times passed and the Arco celluloid became a true object of desire for many pen aficionados around the world (the sheer beuty of the Arco celluloid has universal appeal). At the moment of writing, according to Mr Mora, this is the only one OLDWIN Mini Classic Arco Verde ever made. Ultra rare and breathtakingly beautiful. This small French brand has, with good reason, a devoted following in the pen community.

For a size comparision please have a look at the last photo (#12) of the present listing where the Oldwin Classic Demi is pictured next to the. MORA STYLOS 90th Anniversary (1930 2020) Arco Green (Verde) Celluloid Limited Edition Fountain Pen w/ Piston Filling and Rhodium trimming. If you are familiar with the brand this photo will be self-explanatory. Russian immigrant, leaving Russia from the fallen tsars, Boris Mora became passionate about jewelry and trained as a jeweler. Why a name with an Anglo-Saxon consonance?

It was the trend of the time. The manufacturing is French, mainly developed in the Jura.

At that time, all the pen sellers knew how to repair themselves the objects which they proposed in their workshops. For 30 years, Boris will develop the Oldwin brand by presenting a hundred models of fountain pens, balls and mechanical pencils. The arrival of the ballpoint pen will force him to stop the brand. From rue Dauphine to rue Séguier, since 1991 installed on rue de Tournon, André MORA took over from his father in 1978.

Passionate about writing, faithful to the craft techniques inherited from his father and refined in contact with renowned Parisian restaurateurs , combining new technologies, André Mora will take over the company, developing the range of modern pens and expanding the department dedicated to old pens. The shop has become the essential place for writing enthusiasts, demanding and loyal customers, adepts of beautiful objects and rare pieces. The year 2002 saw the advent of a new line of Oldwin fountain pens, the "Classic" with a clean line, sober and without a ring.

Model with oval tips which has become a staple of the brand. First available in black plexiglass, then in colored celluloid and ebonite, some copies of the "Classic" will be produced in sculpted silver or solid gold as well.
