Comments:

  • The existence of this pen is confirmed or surmised by the following:
    • Trademark #54,435, 2-10-1911, “In use since 1879”
  • There seems to have been a line of Columbia pens. So far I have identified the #200, #300 and #400.
  • Before Uncle Sam, the primary personification for the USA was a female figure called Lady Columbia or Miss Columbia. Not clear if this is the “Columbia” this pen references, or if it was something else.
