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.

Vintage Pens: 6214: Aikin Lambert: Repoussé
When writing instruments double as a work of art, look no further than our Aikin Lambert dip pen made of sterling silver repoussé. We aren't sure if Aikin Lambert made the silver nib holder part of the pen, but it definitely sports a flexi #3 Aikin Lambert nib made of 14k gold. It flexes from a fine to nearly 2mm wide! As with any 100-year-old flexi nib, it might take a minute or two to get the hang of, if you aren't already familiar with these types of nibs. The silver shows some wear and tarnish that we couldn't polish out, but it is in good overall shape. We haven't had a dip this long in ages. Click the headline for a close-up. 17.6cm.
