Today's pen is a black chased hard rubber lever filler (there's a mouthful!) from Aikin Lambert Co.

And gosh is it beautiful! The size, the proportions, the wide jeweler's band, all just stunning.

From what I can find, this pen was made in New York City, and at the time Aikin Lambert was a subsidiary of Waterman.

This pen's ink flow is a bit unreliable, which is common for pens of this age. The feed is very primitive. But man does the nib love flexing! It can't not. I don't think I've used a softer nib outside of dip nibs.

These are two Marukin hard rubber shut-off valve eye-dropper filler fountain pens.  Marukin was a maker of high-end fountain pens in the 1930s, and these pens featured in the Winter 2006 Pennant article, “Collecting Japanese Pens,” by Stan Klemanowicz. Both pens were made by Kinichiro Kasahara with the mottled red hard rubber pen c. 1934 and the swirled red, black and cream hard rubber c. 1932.  Each has a matching hard rubber section specially shaped to increase tactility when writing.  The clips appear to be sourced from a specialty parts maker as they have generic stampings, WARRANTED and NEW CLIP.  Marukin made its own nibs and each has a 14 karat gold nib marked MARUKIN’S GOLD PEN.  Marukin may have been part of Marukin Shoyu Co., a food maker of one of the top five soy sauce brands in Japan, based on Shodo Island. The logo on the pen boxes matches the logo of the Marukin Shoyu Co.
