The Schnell’s Penselpen was the brainchild of Julius Schnell, a master small-time pen maker in New York City. This pen, with the infamous airplane clip on the cap, was made for only one year (1929) to commemorate Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic. The company then fell victim to the Great Depression and shuttered its doors. The original push level filling mechanism is intact, and there is lead in the pencil. I have never written with it, but it appears to be in amazing shape for a nearly 100 year old pen. The name of the original owner – Robert Hauswald – is etched on the body. The proprietary imprint of Schnell’s Penselpen with the patent numbers is still visible on the body as well. I have never seen a Penselpen in this particular type of celluloid, which is quite chatoyant. Combine that with the Lindbergh clip and the original push lever filling device and you have one really rare pen.
This is an unrestored Vintage Schnell’s Penselpen, in need of a lever repair and replacement of a sac. Nice green/black marble that would make a great project. Original Scnhell’s firm nib 14k nib. Lever assembly moves around freely and will definitely need replacement or work. Appears to be missing ringtop. Schnell’s are highly collectible as can be seen per some quick internet research.
