Product Name Unknown
Manufacturer and Year Unknown
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Coin filler - working perfectly with a new sac, guaranteed for one year. (It works like a lever filler, but instead of using the lever to depress the ink sac, you use a coin and press it in the slot when the nib is in ink). Coin not included!
Color Black chased hard rubber.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE Warranted 14k #4 nib. It may have been considered a medium based on the paper label. It's fairly smooth, with tipping still remaining. Very flexible, with nice line variation. It goes from a fine line to a broad or double broad without very much pressure. Close to full flex. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. There are a few light scratches on the pen and some hand wear. The color is really beautiful, though there is some fading of the black hard rubber on one side of the cap. The clip shows some plating wear. The pressure bar also shows wear, from being depressed with coins. No cracks or chips, and the chasing is fairly crisp. There is a paper label on the end of the barrel that says "$1 Safety Med.". Restored and working well.
