Aikin Lambert

James Aikin and Henry Lambert began making fine writing instruments in 1864. They designed some of the most elegant luxury pens of the Gilded Age in NYC. L.E. Waterman hired Aikin Lambert to produce its famous flexible nibs of the 1910s and '20s! Unfortunately, the Aikin Lambert pen brand lost steam during the 1920s and faded to oblivion during the Great Depression.

Some vintage pens get a little confusing. We think that this is an Aikin Lambert pen due to its inconclusive 14k gold nib. Click the headline for a close-up. The nib imprint says "AL Co." We are thinking that is for Aikin Lambert. However, it also is possible that this is a replacement nib. The only clue on the barrel is the "Glide" imprint. Nice repousse barrel bands. Unscrew the section easily for an eyedropper fill. We wish this pen had a cap. You will write a stunningly smooth-gliding fine line that flexes to just over 1mm. 12.4mm.
