SOLD!!!
Shipped CONUS.
Ok, First things first. This has a crack in the nib. Bummer. It is at the back of the breather hole and heads back towards the rear of the nib. At least it isn't headed for a tine. It's been cleaned by hand and writes a nice wet medium flex line. The tines are a little vague feeling, probably from the crack, but it writes nicely. Just eyeballing this it appears to be a #2 Warranted 14k nib. The pen is marked "The Hackmo Pen". The cap is marked Pat Oct 9 1909. The chasing is still visible, the imprints are deep, and the color is still black. I don't think this pen saw much use, except for that darn crack in the nib. The feed has the largest channel I have ever seen! LOL. I think It doubled as a hog trough back in the day hahahaha. I wrote two whole pages with it just to make sure that weirdo feed wasn't going to do something silly like puke ink everywhere, but it wrote very nicely. The nib tines don't quite touch so you get a hard start once in a while, but with that crack there I wan't going to start bending the tines to try to get rid of an occasional hard start.
