SOLD: A very special Foley's pen made for the Centennial Exposition of 1876. Sterling silver. 14k gold flex nib. The nation was only 100 years old, and this silver and gold pen was made to celebrate. It is quite something to see and hold, and it will write beautifully, too, even though it is 141 years old!

This rare pen will be packed carefully with the nib in a separate small container for safety.

$375 shipped anywhere served by the USPS. More elsewhere. First PM that reads "I'll take the dip pen" holds it pending prompt PayPal payment. Questions and offers welcome! (but do not hold pen).
