    Default Venus President by American Pencil Co.

    A nice pen from the 50's? Very classic styling and the cap is a grey pearl striated material that I do not think is celluloid (no camphor smell that I can tell). It is a lever filler with a new sack. 14K gold nib that flexes but not like my Pelikan 140. The heart shaped breather hole is cool too. A solid grey barrel with a black section. The imprint is readable but a little worn. There does not seem to be any brassing on the clip, filler lever or cap band. The striated cap is what caught my attention and I really like the look of it. Much better in person. It looks like an ebonite feed but I am not sure.

    Snazzy cap
    The body is an odd sort of dark grey colour.
    Very interesting. THanks for sharing.
