A Very Special Dinkie

Once in a while an exceptional pen appears in eBay. Just such a pen is this beautiful – and very uncommon – Conway Stewart Dinkie Major.

The Major is larger than the ordinary Dinkie. That makes it a little more practical and easier to write with.

The pen was made around 1931 and is the 640 model. The glorious pattern is green, black and bronze on a red ground.

Thanks to Paul (acetateblue). The auction is here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305459193192

Thanks also to Andy Russell: 50 Years of the Dinkie, 1922 to 1972.

  1. just wondering about the length of the barrel of your special CS Dinkie? I have something similar – no cap – which I have so far not been able to identify. The barrel length is 7.3cm long in colours of red, blue, purple, green & black and has then”lollipop” gold lever with a gold link under. Unfortunately I have not been able to attach a photo..
