President: (1977) (Extract from New Stationer, January 1977): "Sleek, polished steel, natural leather, flower-like patterns, beautiful colours not normally associated with writing instruments are to be seen in the President collection when it is launched by Conway Stewart in January. This exciting prestigious range is to be the spearhead of Conway Stewart's re-entry into the top end of the market. It comprises fashion-orientated pens, ball pens and propelling pencils in unusual coverings and finishes which carry on the true Conway Stewart tradition in terms of high quality, integrated into sophisticated designs, they are writing instruments that pander to the discerning. The President Collection has already been test marketed in a limited number of specially selected outlets and has met with such enthusiasm that sales have far exceeded original expectations. All 30 items in the President Collection can be purchased separately or in matching sets. The fountain pens have either 14ct or 18ct nibs and are well-balanced precision writing instruments. There are 11 styles from which to choose, some in as many as five colours. The pens range is from £3.50 to £29.50." Other Conway Stewart pens maunfactured in the 1970's seem to have been made abroad, (see the No. 570 Lumina Dinkies for example). Perhaps this flighter made in Germany for Conway Stewart was a prototype for the President series. Am I right? or am I right?

o more mysteries for the moment, but if and when I have time, I will update this section.
