Homelink Aluminum Fountain Pen's
A small fountain pen company that lasted less than a decade was broke apart by the strain of war. Homelink pens are known to be aluminum, though I do suspect hard rubber know now plastic pens were produced due to the strain on materials during the war effort.
Homelink pens were made by Kagan & Co. of Edgware in North London which produced some very high quality fountain pens back in the day. Homelink's were no exception, and can commonly be found in aluminum, but there are "De Luxe" versions that came in anodized colors of "Gold, Ruby, Green, Blue, Jet Black and many other attractive colors." If anyone has these colors, I'd be interested in purchasing them, but as of now I've only been able to acquire blue and black. Below is what they looks like;
Another thing to add, is these pens are most often found without their original Homelink nibs, and are found with nibs that are from other manufacturers.
