NATIONAL SECURITY
(Updated 30th August, 2007)

National Security and Rosemary were the brand names of pens made for British Carbon
Papers - the manufacturers could have been Conway Stewart, Mentmore, Wyvern,
or Curzon's, who made the Summit pens and pencils.

Rosemary ("That's for Remembrance")
pens had been established in the early to mid 1920's,
and are now scarce and very desirable collector's items.

The National Security pens here date from the late 1930's to the mid 1940's
and are delightful examples of traditional pen-craftsmanship,
as well as being attractive items both to collect and use.
