Product Description
Type Button Filler Fountain Pen
Product Name Krone Hyperbole
Manufacturer and Year Krone, made in Italy -- Circa 2000.
Length 4-5/8" (short and stout)
Filling System Button filler. There is a blind cap on the end of the barrel that can be removed to expose the button, which you press in order to fill the pen. (You should not unscrew the barrel from the section to expose the sac, as it is easy to dislodge the pressure bar.) We replaced the sac. It has been checked and it's working well.
Color A clear demonstrator with purple veins and swirls. The top of the cap and some of the swirls have blue and purple stripes (see photos). It has a sterling clip and cap band. The cap band has stamped circles all around.
Nib 18k two tone medium nib. Krone nibs are known for being smooth writers. It's a small nib.
Condition Near mint, in box, with paperwork. No cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a unique little pen, both in color and style. There are some light scratches and some surface flaws (manufacturing) on the cap and barrel. The cap band has some light marks around some of the circles. The box is missing the bottle of ink. The imprints are clear.
