Bergen Line



Early Eskesen pen I picked up at an Antique Collectors fair. Says "Made in Denmark" on the clip. The tip is silver in colour but is made of plastic. The pen style must be a forerunner to the Classic (Eskesen style 533 or 534). The pen length is 5 1/4 inches (13.5 cms). There is a company called "Norwegian Coastal Voyage Inc./Bergen Line" but I don't know if it has any connections with the company featured on this pen. I suspect they do as some of their traditional ships were built in the 1960's & refurbished in 1985. They specialize in cruises. I wonder if they have a new Floaty pen design?
Below is a picture of one of their Traditional ships. Reminiscent of a classic steamer ship as featured in the pen. The two traditional ships in the fleet were built in the early 1960s and refurbished in 1985.
