Meteore fountain pen by a French pen manufacturer "La Pluma de Oro" was the rage in 1920s as they made very high quality nibs. This pen with 14k solid gold trim and semi-flex nib in marbled ebonite was a star of 1923. The other great pens by Meteore after the success of this pen were Pullman and Safety.
This Meteore 62 has a shamrock shaped side filler with Meteore
etched on it. The cap and barrel also has Meteore, D&D, Paris, Unis 18 France and 62 printed on it. I have cleaned out the pen, buffed it slightly and re-sacked it. Now it is writing like a dream.
The cap and barrel also has Meteore, D&D, Paris, Unis 18 France and 62 printed on it. The company, sadly closed down in 1956, as it could not withstand the ball-pen onslaught.
