Product Description
Type Vintage snorkel filling fountain pen, restored and working well.
Product Name Snorkel Crest. The Crest name changed a few times over the years. In 1947 the name changed to Crest Deluxe; service manuals made the change to the new name but advertisements continued to call the model Crest. When the snorkel system came out the Crest became the, "TM Snorkel Crest," and then finally just the "Snorkel Crest."
