Magnificent
Onoto Fountain Pens in
hallmarked Victory Silver®
Nelson was a prolific
letter writer, not only to Emma, although she was the recipient of many
of his letters, but also to the other members of his family and to his
friends. As a tribute to Nelson’s love of writing, Remember Nelson
has commissioned The Onoto Pen Company to produce 2 exclusive
pieces in Victory Silver.
Onoto
is a British brand, established by Thomas De La Rue and Co Ltd in 1905,
responsible for some of the finest writing instruments in the early part
of the 20th century.
Although production
of Onoto pens ceased in 1958, the brand has recently
been resurrected under new ownership and the craftsmen of The
Onoto Pen Company are once more producing magnificent fountain
pens in exclusive limited editions.
The 2 items selected
for this Remember Nelson Collection are:
The
Horatio Nelson Onoto Fountain Pen
A superb collector's
pen in Victory Silver and blue enamel. The barrel of the pen has been
crafted in the style of Nelson's Column, while the cap is intricately
enamelled in rich cobalt blue over an engine-turned wave pattern.
The end of the cap
bears a gilded silver button based on the fouled anchor buttons found
on Nelson's uniform.
The 3 gilded silver bands around the bottom of the cap have been designed
to resemble the braid around the cuff of Nelson's sleeve. A silver cartouche
with a rope border bears a facsimile of Nelson's signature and his dates.
The pen features an exclusive 18ct gold Onoto nib which is available in
Fine, Medium or Broad styles.

The
Emma Hamilton Onoto Fountain Pen
A delicate design
featuring powder blue enamelling over wave-pattern engine-turning and
incorporating a 'Nelson and Bronte' pattern based on that which Emma
had embroidered around the hem of her dress when she first met Nelson
after the Battle of the Nile. A cartouche bearing Emma's signature also
features on the cap.
 |
The end
of the cap bears the Maltese Cross which Emma wore as a pendant
in the famous painting by Schmidt which Nelson kept in his cabin
on board HMS 'Victory'.

Hamilton pen features an exclusive 18ct gold Onoto nib which is
available in Fine, Medium or Broad styles.
