Product Description
Type Vintage bulb-filling fountain pen, restored and working well.
Product Name Bantam.
Manufacturer and Year Wahl Eversharp, made in USA -- 1930s.
Length 3-7/8 inches.
Filling System The pen is filled via the bulb system. You unscrew the end of the barrel and squeeze the bulb a few times, letting it re-inflate and pull in the ink. We have installed a new sac and tested the pen to confirm that it's working very well.
Color Smooth dark blue swirl color finish with gold plated trim and two thin cap bands.
Nib FINE Wahl 0 steel nib is smooth and firm with a nice tip shape. There are minor traces of gold plating remaining toward the base of the nib.
Condition Very nice condition. No cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The gold plating is faded on the clip, which shows small marks of pitting, and there are spots of wear on the cap bands as well. There's some minor scratching and handwear on the cap and barrel, and the imprint is slightly worn, but still readable. The pen has been fully restored and it's working well.
