Restored Vintage Unnamed Flexible Mother of Pearl Fountain Pen

[Vintage-Nibs]

Appearance - After all these years its panels are in great condition. While some of the panels have yellowed, as would be natural for an organic material it is contrasted by a few panels that have aged beautifully. From the brilliant and vibrant whites, blues, and greens of the brightest panels to the browns and dark greens of the aged panels. When turning the pen around I can see an excellent contrast between the colors that Mother-Of-Pearl is capable of. The gold bands are in excellent condition and accentuate the pearl nicely. The Hard rubber itself is black with no discoloring and there is a nice taper on the section itself.

Writing - An excellent everyday writer as well as able to produce lines of up to 1.9mm but I'd say with casual effort about 1.6-1.5mm.

EDIT - DISCOUNTED TO 150 Not 250 as below

Why do I think I can charge a high price of 250? - While you have pens such as the pilot 823/743 or close to a Sheaffer PFM they do not have the outright beauty of this pen, and the writing capabilities. It is not too garish, being conservative but with a very clear amount of flair. A true vintage beauty with the flex nib to prove.

To buy please go through my Ebay listing as it provides guarantees to both buyer and seller.

You asked "why do I think I can charge a high price of $250.00? You can charge any amount you want! If another person assigns a comparable value to the pen that's great. If not, they will not buy it at that cost.

Two years ago I had a table to the Commonwealth Pen Show "in Boston". I had two similar pens. One I was asking $150.00 for and the other $250.00. There was little difference between the two except that one was an "F" and the other was an "EF". When a person asked me why the added $100.00 I mentioned that the more expensive one had sentimental value (my first expensive, for the time, pen). I thought that if someone was willing to spend the extra money to purchase it that they would value it in a more personal way.
The person bought the less expensive on and, as I found a year later at the show, they were very happy with their purchase.

Good selling AND happy buyers.

Is the clip an addition to the pen? It seems out of place with the more ornate trim.

The Clip is an accommodation clip, which was added
