Morgan Pen & Pencil Co
I am trying to find out about the Morgan Pen & Pencil Co. From an old
box I know that they operated at 116 Naussau St., New York at one time. Any information would be much appreciated -- was this an independent company or was it a name used by one of the better known companies. My enquiries with the New York public libraries did not yield any information and I am posting this with the hope that someone knows about this company. Thanks, Greg |

Morgan Pen & Pencil Co
Not sure where to find it but there used to be a book published about the
company: Someone here might have a copy?? It used to be distributed by His Nibs, from a shop in Drury Lane in London? They practically invented the propelling pencil and were for the longest time the only collectable Victorian pencil. (those times have long passed). I had a solid gold pen and pencil set made by Watermans in the Thirties which had a Mordan pencil which I sold at the last Boston Pen Show. And I bought a combination pencil, supposed "fountain" pen (obviously a dipping pen) and letter opener (knife) made by Samson Mordan & Co in a sale in London a few days ago. I have somewhere a barrel of an eye dropper fountain pen signed Mordan and with a Mordan nib but I am unaware of anyone having ever seen a whole pen or having ever otherwise seen a Mordan nib. This suggests they didn't make it (unless someone knows better)? They aren't mentioned in the Steinberg book which may be something of a mistake if they did make fountain pens.

Morgan Pen & Pencil Co
Sorry, Greg, I have just noticed the slight error in my message to you: You
don't seem to have been asking about Samson Mordan, but rather some other company known as Morgan operating (as were a huge number of companies) in the downtown New York area in the vague general vicinity of Watermans |
