Manufacturer and Year Eggens Hambler ... they were ex-Waterman employees and started making pens in 1926 in New York, later moving to New Jersey. They went out of business in the mid 1930s.
Length 4-1/4" long, excluding ringtop hardware.
Filling System Lever-filler. We have replaced the sac and it's working well.
Color Green marbled material. Two narrow cap bands.
Nib FINE #2 14k semi-flexible Eggens Hambler nib. It looks nice and writes smoothly. See writing sample in photos.
Condition Very Nice condition. There is moderate to heavy scratching on the cap and barrel, so the surface is dulled. The cap bands have scratching and some tiny pitting dots. The cap edge looks good, with no cracks or chips. The edge of the section nearest the nib has some rough areas. The lever bar has brassing and some plating wear. The ringtop hardware has scratching and brassing, but is well-secured. The imprint is nice and clear.
