I am a novice when it comes to metal ornamentation who would like to write an article or a book about repousse and repousse style overlays on turn of the century fountain pens. One important company was the George W. Heath & Co. which apparently was based om Newark, New Jersey and around 1900-1905 produced some impressive silver overlays for the Parker and Waterman pen companies and other manufacturers. I desperately seek any and all information about this firm and the techniques they actually used. I am drawing a blank in every source I seek. Please help,--it's hard finding information here where I live in northern Japan!!!

The U S Federal Census's for Newark, New Jersey 1900, 10, & 20 show George W Heath having been born in New Jersey in about 1871 to English parents. He was an engraver, pen company employee, and pen company owner respectively. IP: Logged |
