(Page updated - 19th November,
2011)
Onoto pens were manufactured in the United Kingdom by the firm
of Thomas de la Rue - between the late 1800's and 1958. Their models
were so popular during the early part of the 20th Century that they were simply
known as "The Pen".
The unique plunger-filling system was used between 1910 and the late 1940's,
though they also made side-lever fillers from 1924 onwards.
The flagship "Magnas", with their transparent striated caps and barrels are
now sought after by specialist collectors.
Unless otherwise noted, all of the models
here are in full working order,
and that is very much to the buyer's advantage,
since
servicing/repair of the plunger-filling mechanism can cost up to £30.00
Sterling.
