A Welsh Gallery - 1930s
As a follow-up to my article on a late-1930s Welsh carved celluloid fountain pen, I thought it would be fun to explore other pens produced by the Welsh Manufacturing Company of Providence, Rhode Island. Many Welsh pens feature striking, bold celluloids that make them especially enjoyable additions to a collection. I’ve arranged this small collection in approximate chronological order (best guess) with a brief description of each.
