Vintage Italian Fountain Pen
Brand: Aster

Pen is in very good condition for its age. Light brassing on the clip. Over 5 inches in length.

Beautiful reddish-orange celluloid material, i really like the way this just shines and shimmers under light.

Button filler fully working, new sac.

Hooded Nib - Fine size and Flexy! Rare to find a hooded nib with flex but this is one! See writing sample

If you are new to flex, please take it slow until you get the hang of it and only put pressure on the down strokes.

Thanks,

Asif

Very pretty, but could you possibly resize your photos? It is hard to see your lovely pen with the pictures so large.

Beautiful pen! This is one of the first hooded pens with flex that I have seen! Did you do the restoration job yourself?

No, the pen came to me restored from Italy. I dissassembled the pen just for fun to learn how button fillers worked. I reassembled it and it is in perfect order. The ink sac inside is new.
