Product Name Swan Safety Screw Cap, possibly model 2500.
Manufacturer and Year Mabie Todd & Co., New York -- circa 1910s
Length 5-1/4" long
Filling System Eyedropper pen. It has been tested and cleaned. It is working well with no leaks. (We will enclose instructions and an eyedropper kit.)
Color Black chased hard rubber (BCHR). The chasing has a wavy/rippled pattern.
Nib BROAD FLEXIBLE STUB 14k Mabie Todd & Co. #2 N.Y. nib. See the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen looks great with some fading, and for its age the imprints look great. The barrel chasing is worn completely smooth, but the pattern is still visible as shadows. The barrel imprint is slightly worn but still easily visible. The pen must have had an accommodation clip at some point, because there's a strip around the cap which is darker than the rest of the cap, and the texture of the chasing is still somewhat apparent. There is an imprint on the cap that simply says: "Swan" No. 2.
