An Aikin Lambert Co. "Mercantile" pen. This pen has a nice size, long and nice girth to hold in the hand, it's not one of those slim pens.
Cosmetics: Very pretty in "jadeite" celluloid material. It looks the same as the ones you see on Parker Duofold and Sheaffer Flattop. But as a bonus, the jade color is pristine, no ink discoloration at all. The trims are beautiful (maybe missing a ring on the cap, but I'm not sure).
Condition: Restored. I had to replace the lever because it's broken, good thing I have a donor pen (another Mercantile) with a perfect lever but bad cap.

Nib: It's the right Aikin Lambert nib. An M nib, also a good full-flex (most AL nibs are nice flex), see the writing sample.
Price: $175 $150 OBO
