This is a no name (That I could find) green celluloid pen. I got it at an antique store. It was bent a bit, and still is slightly even after trying to straighten it back out. It had a crusted over nib, a REALLY rusty J-bar, and a completely hard and shattered sac. I dismantled the pen, cleaned it, replaced the j-bar, replaced the old rubber sac with a silicon one to prevent the celluloid from discoloring any more, and I cleaned and polished the cheap steel nib. I reassembled the pen and it just straight up refused to write. The nib that it came with was such low quality, and so badly corroded, that no amount of tweaking I performed could make it write. I replaced it with a Noodler's flex nib. It writes a nice wet line now. I wrote two pages with it and it appears to keep up that nice wet line for multiple pages no problem. It is cleaned and ready for a new home. This pen is not going to win any beauty contests but it writes nice and has some interesting details.
