Product Description
Type Vintage lever fill pen which works beautifully and has a flexible nib.
Product Name Model 72, as marked at the end of the barrel
Manufacturer and Year John Holland, USA -- Early 1900s, this pen uses the first of the two patented "hatchet filler" systems. The first came out in 1908. The second one came out in 1913.
Length 5-11/16"
Filling System Hatchet filler (We have replaced the bladder and it works very well.) This is a simple sac/pressure bar type of filling system .... you raise the lever and it pumps the sac.
Color Black hard rubber cap and barrel. Gold filled hatchet system.
Nib Medium flexible nib. The nib is a #12 Holland nib that offers flex based line variation. Please see the writing sample below. Despite having a high number, #12 Holland nibs are actually quite small.
Condition Superior condition. It looks like the box holding the hatchet is a bit dented, but otherwise the pen looks new. The color is perfect. The imprints are clear. There are no scratches. It ships in a John Holland box with paperwork (the paperwork is a little worn and frayed).
