Sheaffer flat-top. Late production piece. Killer color.

As to AL, do you mean "Mercantile"?

Here's one of those. I've had a couple over the years.

Yes, sorry, I meant Mercantile. Thanks for the close up. I am particularly fond of green/jade flat top pens.

This is my AL Mercantile. I find the springy stubbish nib to be a bit too smooth to use regularly.

Another one found at the pen show, a pen I've tried for years to find in nice shape and at good price. This one is the Conklin "Zebra", a sub-Endura line pen from the late 1920's, kin to the better known "Halloween". This one is near mint with price sticker at top of cap
