Période

New, never used Warranty card indicates that the fountain pen was sold on 26/05/2011.

Canada

Taken from curatorial worksheet: This pen was given to Prime Minister Steven Harper by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France at the G8 Summit in Deauville, France (2011). At this Summit, Harper refused “to embrace the U.S. President’s plan to begin peace negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis on the basis of a return to Israel’s de facto borders as they existed before its 1967 war with neighbouring Arab countries.” (ref.1) Harper did not support the precondition that the West Bank and Golan Heights would no longer be under Israeli control. John Kirton, director of the G8 Research Group at the University of Toronto, noted that while Canada’s view on the Israel boarder issue was not in keeping with the collective approach to resolving boarder disputes, it (Canada) was not a complete outlier. “It’s fair to say,” he noted, “that they will be able to issue a united statement, perhaps without being specific on the 1967 language, that allows Mr. Obama to say he has made progress on this.” (ref.1)

Fonction

Cylinder screws to the fountain pen nib assembly.

Technique

Taken from curatorial worksheet: A fountain pen uses liquid ink. It stores this liquid ink in the body of pen in a reservoir. A feed system, which consists of a long slit along the inside of the pen to the nip, uses capillary action (the movement of a liquid along the surface of a solid caused by the attraction of molecules of the liquid to the molecules of the solid) to draw ink into the nip (or head) of the pen. This system also incorporates fins which store ink. This stored ink allows for a consistent amount of ink to transfer from pen to paper regardless of the speed at which the user writes. S.T. Dupont began producing high end luggage and leather goods in 1872. Almost a century later, in 1973, the Dupont pen was introduced. It, alongside Dupont’s lighters and leatherwear, became a status symbol.
