PEN IS SOLD!


$100 Shipped Conus. International shipping but buyer pays shipping.

Antique Store Find. I have completely dis-assembled the pen, cleaned everything by hand, and put 4 coats of Renaissance Wax on it. This pen is on the smaller side.

Capped: 4"
Uncapped: 3.8"
Posted: 5"

The condition of the pen is pretty good considering it's age. No large blemishes, the pen has retained a mostly black color, the chasing is still visible. There is no branding on the pen. The nib has several marks on it but no cracks. The nib is marked Warranted 14k 4. It is about a 1.1mm italic when used normally but also has some fantastic soft flex to it. It has plenty of tipping material left. It is a joy to use! The feed has a slight bend in it. I was afraid it wasn't going to write and I was going to heat set it straight, BUT, after I inked up the pen for a test drive I found it writes just fine. I filled the pen with just over 1ml of ink and wrote an entire page just to make sure it worked correctly. Please see the writing samples.

After disassembly and cleaning:
