Description

Civil War Era Mabie Todd & Co. New York Dip Pen Set

 

A beautiful and well-preserved Civil War era writing pen set housed in its original fitted presentation case and bearing the desirable retailer marking “Mabie Todd & Co. New York.” Mabie Todd & Co. would become one of the most recognized names in fine writing instruments during the 19th century, and examples of their early American retailed pieces remain highly sought after today.

 

The pen features an elegant white mother-of-pearl handle paired with a finely crafted gold nib section, creating a refined appearance typical of quality Victorian-era writing instruments. The original fitted case remains intact and displays attractively with a dark textured exterior and rich purple velvet-lined interior.

 

The interior case lid is clearly marked in gold lettering:

“MABIE TODD & CO. NEW YORK”

 

The pen itself is additionally marked “MABIE TODD & CO No 1,” further enhancing its collector appeal. Personal writing accessories such as this would have been commonly carried and used by officers, clerks, merchants, attorneys, and educated civilians during the Civil War era.

 

An exceptionally attractive display piece with strong eye appeal, combining both historical charm and elegant period craftsmanship. A fine addition to any Civil War, writing instrument, or Victorian personal artifact collection.
