This is a lovely pen made by Onoto Pens (Aust) Pty Ltd. It dates from around 1950 and, due to its small size, was probably a ladies pen.
De La Rue produced the Onoto range and they enjoyed a reputation for top quality pens. Their Australian division was a successful operation opened after the War which went on to produce Onoto pens under licence until the mid sixties.
This is the Onoto No.30 dating from around 1950, it is finished in Maroon Marble with gold filled trim to the clip and double cap rings. It is in very good overall condition although there is a very small amount of swelling in the barrel near to the lever box.
The pen is fitted with a lever filling system which has been fully serviced and is in good working order.
The nib is a Broad Italic and writes with a wonderful smooth line with a nice amount of flex to give good line variation.
The pen shows only light marks commensurate with us and there are chip, cracks or deep scratches.
Condition: Grade B (What does this mean).
