Hello folks,

Several months back, I bought this lovely Visconti Wall Street, and it is a truly wonderful pen - gorgeous to look at, and the nib is a star to write with. However, I find myself leaning very much toward my acrylic pens, and haven't been using this one much. Also, it is a fairly long pen, and my shirt pockets are too short for it. Yep, it's that simple. So, time to move this one out, and make room for a new, shorter pen in acrylic.

Rest of pictures below...

This Wall Street is in the green celluloid, which is truly beautiful to look at. The cap has the trademark customizable magnetic finial (currently the Visconti medallion is in place), the cool Visconti clip, and a silver cap band engraved 'WALL STREET'. The pen is a converter fill and comes equipped with an excellent Visconti converter (see pics).

The true glory of this pen, though, is the 23K Palladium medium nib. The nib is incredibly smooth, with a slight flex to it, and glides so nicely on the paper - has been described as like 'writing on a cloud'. It really is a pleasure to write with.

The pen comes with the cool Visconti case, which has a small drawer in the bottom. The leather cushion that the pen sits on has an abrasion in the surface layer where the pen sits, but this is not visible at all when the pen is in place. The outer box has a small tear in one flap (see pic below), from me trying to open it ( :mad: ).

The pen is in excellent condition.

List price for a new one is $625 USD, though obviously one can find them a lot lower.

I am pricing this pen to sell, at $300 shipped to US or Canada. **SOLD**

Thanks for looking,

Ken
