This is an Anpaco branded fountain pen in black plastic c. 1948-1949, probably made by Eagle as an OEM product for a retailer rather than as a sub-brand of Eagle. This 5 1/8 inch long pen features Eagle’s 1935 patented "Visehold" clip design by Benjamin W. Hanle with ANPACO stamped at the top. All the trim is chrome or rhodium plated. The stainless steel nib may have been gold plated and is stamped ANPACO over HAND over GROUND over MADE IN over U.S.A. There are no other markings on the pen. The Eagle version was offered for $1.00 in 1949 advertisements and came in black, blue, grey, maroon and aquamarine. There are very few advertisements mentioning Anpaco pens and all in the mid to late 1940s. #pencollecting #fountainpen #eagle #epenco #anpaco #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnGx3fDVZ3/?igshid=1msw53t4km088
