The Neptune Pen: A History of Burge, Warren and Ridgley
by Stephen Hull and  Mike Bryan

Picture

Rightfully holding the claim to be the first English pen manufacturer, Burge, Warren and Ridgley are little-known today and their pens and stylos are rarely, if ever, seen.  In the nineteenth century it was all rather different with their main brand, Neptune, well-known by both the trade and the buying public.

Following a fifteen year treasure hunt this book offers a rare and exciting glimpse into the development and pens of BW&R providing a detailed history, extensive photographs of their products, and copies of the catalogues and adverts they used.   

With meticulous attention to detail the book displays a wealth of information in a most readable style.
