These pages highlight my personal collection of Bexley fountain pens. While I do not have every model that has
been produced by Bexley, I do have a good representation and hope you find the photos and information both
enjoyable and useful. I would invite you to visit the Bexley web site to view the current collections available.

The Bexley Pen Company, Columbus, Ohio, was founded in 1993 to produce high quality fountain pens inspired by the
Golden Age pens. The first model produced by Bexley was the Original, a bandless button filled pen inspired by the
bandless Parker Duofold. The first pens produced had 14K nibs made by Minka, with the Minka name polished away. The
majority of the production had Bexley marked 14K nibs. Feeds and sections were hard rubber. Colors included Blue Pearl,
Burgundy Pearl, Gray Pearl, Bronze, and Lime Pearl. Two different shades of Gray exist. First year production pens can be
identified by a "93" on the lower barrel and by the single lead cap threads. Clips were made of solid gold.

1994 saw the introduction of additional Bexley models, beginning with the Giant, an oversize pen that was available with an
optional large #12 nib. The filling system was a squeeze type similar to a Parker Aerometric filler. Offered as a Limited
Edition of 100 pens in each of three colors, White, Blue Pearl, and Woodgrain, and an edition of 50 pens in Platinum Gray
(Platinum Giant.)

Also making its debut in 1994 was another Duofold inspired pen, the Deluxe. Like the original, the Deluxe was a button fill
pen fitted with a 14K nib. Again, sections and feeds were black hard rubber. The wide cap band and clip are solid 10K gold.
The Deluxe collection was a Limited Edition of 250 pens of each color. The Orange was the first color to sell out.

The next Deluxe to appear was the clear Demonstrator, allowing observation of how the button fill mechanism operated.
This was the last of the button fill Deluxe pens and it sold out rather quickly. Solid gold trim was retained for this pen in
white gold.

Although out of order chronologically, the Deluxe family was expanded to include models in Jungle Green and Mandarin Yellow.
The new models were cartridge/converter pens and the earlier Orange and Antique Cream models also became C/C fillers. The
last pens produced had 18K Bexley marked nibs.

Honey, a non standard color. Early production pens were button fillers and later made pens were C/C.
