For sale is a vintage Aurora 88, serial number 299,032 which would date it to approximately 1948-49. The Aurora 88 features a celluloid barrel with an ebonite section and piston knob that are still very black and not discolored like many other ebonite pieces are. This particular pen features a Nikargenta cap in excellent condition, which is a nickel-silver plating combining the beauty of silver and corrosion resistance of nickel. Nikargenta was Aurora’s most expensive option when originally released and this cap is free of any dings, dents, and only slight wear on the clip. The Nikargenta imprint on the backside of the cap is perfect.

The “Aurora 88″ and serial number imprint in the section are crisp and clean. The barrel where the section screws into is free of cracks and the original piston seal is in great condition. I’ve filled the pen with both ink and water and it fills full with no leaks. The ink window is half ambered but good enough to see when you’re low on ink. This pen comes straight from Italy with a cellophane sleeve, micro-fiber cloth and the correct silver bodied aluminum pen case. This is one of the lowest numbered 88′s that I’ve seen and probably in the best condition I’ve ever seen, too. The semi-flex nib will provide loads of fun and is the perfect addition to a pen of this caliber. $300 SOLD
