A very nice Conway Stewart 206M fountain pen and original holder
The Conway Stewart 200M from the 1920s and 1930s is famous for its mottled red hard rubber (vulcanite) body and a distinctively short, knurled, domed cap. When Conway Stewart designed closely related models during that era, they followed a specific nomenclature and design scaling:
The 206M shares the exact same aesthetics and internal mechanics as the 200M. However, it was built as a slightly scaled-up, longer variant.
The high domed cap: A standout feature of the 206 family is its prominent, high-domed, knurled cap top. While the 200M has a shallower, more squat knurled cap, the 206 cap features a noticeably taller, more pronounced dome.
The pen is a clipless model, fitted with a period-correct removable accommodation clip (a slide-on metal band with a pocket clip). Because fountain pens without clips were easy to lose out of a pocket, many owners purchased these separate, aftermarket metal holder clips to slide onto the cap. Excellent condition with clear imprints. 120mm in length.
Length closed: 136mm
Length open: 125mm
Length posted: 169mm
