Well, the Great Reorganization of the Pen Room proceeds.
I've been finding pens I've not examined in 5+ years, pens that had not at the time of purchase made it into my reasonably well-sorted personal-collection cabinet, awaiting instead eventual restoration and resale. I'm finally embracing the massive backlog. But, looking at trays of pens with fresh eyes-- not to mention a few-to-ten more years in the hobby-- I'm finding some good stuff. And, I'm finding occasional things that surprise me.
I did a triple take on this one. The finding is subtle, but provocative within the collecting sphere.
I'll offer image of the pen, then perhaps some supporting images.
There is no trick on this one. The post is not a joke. Hey, I could be wrong about what I find interesting, but this at least is a straightforward challenge.
This might be a bit of an advanced topic here, but what the heck, let's have some fun.
The pen? An oversized Sheaffer Balance in Ebonized Pearl Celluloid. Plunger-filler.
The challenge:
What's peculiar? Why is the peculiarity interesting?
