National Security Rosemary "Remembrance" Fountain Pen - Hard Rubber Woodgrain

$80.00

This pen was manufactured in England in the early to mid-1920's as a sub-brand of the National Security. Vague references state the pens were actually outsource manufacture by Conway Stewart . The pen's name is a reference to a line from William Shakespeare's Hamlet. The Danish noblewoman and potential bride of Hamlet states, “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance”. Those cheeky Brits, Monty Python, Benny Hill and fountain pens named after literary classics!
