Mabie Todd
Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd was originally established as Mabie Todd and Bard of New York, USA in 1873 and began production in the UK in 1905 under licence.
The UK branch bought out the US outfit in the early 1920’s and Mabie Todd became a wholly owned British company, thriving thanks to British preferences for conservative design and reliability and successful advertising campaigns.
Mabie Todd have produced many hundreds of different designs and their modest styling, competitive pricing and perhaps most importantly, their ability to market their products effectively kept them at the forefront of British Pen Manufacturing for several decades.
The larger Self Fillers, SWAN Calligraph’s and Leverless pens carry some of the best nibs available today, along too with the early slip cap eyedroppers which are extremely collectable.
