Few facts about ‘Mebsons’ 

Mebsons was un upcoming pen brand in 80s from India. During the Initial days mebsons were making ballpoint pens, but later they geared up to manufacture premium fountain pens for the international market, using pure ‘Make in India’ raw materials and fittings. The result was some interesting, good quality fountain pens.

Mebsons brand was owned and operated by a team of three businessmen from Mumbai, one of them is a Bohra Muslim belongs to khorakiwala family, and another one was a very famous and influential Parsi vintage/art collector. Mebsons marketed their pens with brand names of Mebsons, Alisons, Persia and corvina.

during 1980-90s, china made fountain pens almost invaded pen shops worldwide, and mebsons found it almost impossible to run show successfully and compete with pen brands from china. Late 1990s, mebsons closed its doors forever, leaving those limited quantity premium fountain pens stuck in the distribution channel.

these pens are almost the last few units left in India, in New-old-stock working conditions.

Interestingly enough, mebsons used only genuine Indian made nibs with premium quality (ambitious), and some of their pens have lacquer coating, which is quite unique and seen only with Japanese made premium pens during 80s!

Antikcart’s Quick review of Mebsons : looking at the quality of making, fit n finish, nibs, ebonite feeds, lacquer coating (not all pens), full metal or metal lacquer combination barrels, exclusive clips and trim, quantity of gold coating and finial & crown assembly, we can see that mebsons were all set to be a premium quality fountain pen maker from India if they survived the china impact. Sad to see such a great pen maker disappeared. We have traced mebsons fountain pens sold in Iran, Turkey, Greece etc, for some good money!, but none in India so far.

Note : Mebsons is now a multi-million $ company, into real estate and hospitality and facility management, etc.. the old photograph we have published here,  is the only reference we could find when searched for MEBSONS pens!
