I'm new to this forum, so this is a bit of an experiment, to see what folks like. I will start slow and see where it goes.
These little Mid 1930's Plunger Fill "Truncated" Balance Juniors were only around for a year or two. Hard to find with this barrel clarity and clean trim.
I hunt celluloid pens with "Ink View" barrel sections. This is about as good as 80+ year old celluloid gets - I mean stays. The reason that it is so nice is that it is a bit of an assemblage. A broken nib and feed sidelined this pen before it saw much use. I was happy to swap in a new front end, and found that it still pulled a vacuum.

Obligitory nib shot, of sorts.

In this shot I have pulled the plunger rod back, to allow a better view of the transparency and imprint.

Rather than write a book, I'll keep it short and see what others will ask, add or ignore altogether.
