Product Description
Type Vintage stylus fountain pen. Unlike a regular fountain pen, the stylus pens have a narrow tube tip, similar to the modern Rapidograph. There's a tiny wire inside the tube - when you place the pen on the paper, the wire retracts and allows ink to flow through the tube onto the paper.

Filling System Lever filler. We've replaced the sac and it's working well.
Color Smooth black hard rubber with gold trim. There's a 3/8" wide 14k gold filled cap band.
Nib Stylus tip, extra fine.
Condition Excellent + condition. There is light scratching on the cap and barrel. The color is very dark, with some light fading. The clip looks great, with some plating wear over the top edge and along the edges. The cap band has light scratching and some small dings. The imprint is very clear and readable. No cracks or chips, and no personalization. It's restored and working well.
There's a little needle inside the thin tube of the tip which helps regulate the ink flow. The needle moves back and forth in the tube with a shake of the pen, just as it should. Do not try to remove or break this piece off!
