Product Description
Type Vintage safety pen in excellent working condition with a flexible nib
Product Name Unknown
Manufacturer and Year Unknown. The nib says "Warranted 14k". It looks like one of the so called "Continental Overlay" made in France or Italy, but that's just a guess.
Length 5-3/16"
Filling System Safety Pen, restored with a new seal. ((To use a safety pen, you uncap it, fill the barrel with ink, then operate the knob on the end of the barrel to extend the nib. The nib seals when fully extended, allowing you to write with an already ink-primed nib. When you are done writing, point the nib at the ceiling and operate the knob to retract the nib. Then screw on the cap and the pen is sealed.)
Color Gold filled overlay. The top of the cap and knob are black and the top is domed. There is a copper band around the cap and around the barrel, with dark blue shamrocks.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE, not quite full flex, but good flex (see writing sample below).
Condition Excellent condition with no dings, dents or personalization. There is wear at the top and bottom of the clip and some scratches on the bands, but the pen is elegant and whimsical, unique in its design.
