Product Description
Type Vintage ring top lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name Unknown.
Manufacturer and Year Diamond Medal, Chicago, ILL. -– circa 1920s.
Length 4-7/16" not including the ring top hardware.
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Green celluloid with gold plated or filled trim, a wide 1/4" cap band, and thin white insert bands on either end with black end pieces. Minor discoloration.
Nib FINE 14k gold Diamond Medal #3 nib is very smooth with nice tipping. There is a crack at the base of the nib as shown in the photos but this has no effect on its writing becausde the nib does not flex and put stress on the crack. (Fairly firm nib.)
Condition Very nice condition except for some light scratching and wear on the cap, some microscratching on the cap band, and just hints of brassing around the edges of the lever. The green has darkened to a brownish color beneath the white band on the cap, but the wide band looks great. The pen section is also discolored in a gradient. The imprint is clear and sharp. No cracks or chips, dings or dents in the barrel or cap. It's fully restored and working well.
