    Default SOLD Sterling hallmarked pen from 1905 very flexible nib

    A. Dickinson hallmarked sterling pen from 1905
    the pen is a eyedrop filler and everything functions as it should, ready to write

    The relatively small nib (a bit smaller than a Waterman #2 nib)
    has very much flexibility and it is easy to get the pen flexing

    This has a silver snails design. There are 3 British hallmarks on the pen
    (one of the pictures shows the hallmarks) the marks are fairly worn

    There are the following hallmarks:
    AB&Co an anchor a lion facing to the left and a small f

    The AB&Co stands for Alfred Bromet & Co of Jewin St. London
    The anchor stands for the Birmingham area
    The lion is a British .925 sterling mark
    this small f stands for 1905

    The capped pen is 5.28 inches or 13.5 cm long
    it is 0.37 inches, or 9.4 cm thick

    I bought this pen at the Fountain Pen Hospital, a New York landmark
    several years ago

    The nib is stamped "A. Dickinson". The D and n in Dickinson don't quite
    fit on the nib and a bit abbreviated. Under that is "product"

    The nib has quite a bit of effortless flexibility and the pen is
    a pleasure to write with.
    Nib writes with a broad line.

    The picture of the writing sample has my attempt at drawing the hallmarks
    The nib railroaded because I had only dipped the pen

    I am selling the pen because I've decided to reduce my collection
    to a smaller number of pens that I use more often

    Asking $249 obo
    free shipping to the CONUS, anywhere else, just ask

    That is an amazing pen! If I had any business with a flex nib I would seriously consider selling a Nakaya, Montblanc, Pelikan, whatever, to get this. Beautiful!
