Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name Unknown.
Manufacturer and Year Merit, USA -- 1930s-40s based off of the design.
Length 4-15/16" capped.
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Yellow-pearl with heavy black veins. The ends of the pen have black leveled pieces. The cap has a 1/8"gold filled band with a woven pattern carved into it.
Nib FINE steel #6 nib. It is large and writes smoothly. It was originally gold plated.
Condition Excellent + condition. The pen has no cracks or scratches, and excellent color. The black end pieces look a bit rough and the cap band is almost entirely brassed. The clip is also brassed but is difficult to see with the naked eye. The material used to make the pen didn't start completely smooth and there are a few spots filled in with dust and grime. You can see them under magnification but not with the naked eye. The pen is fully restored and working very well.
