Manufacturer and Year Mabie Todd & Co. New York -- late 1920s

Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working well.
Color Black hard rubber with gold plated or gold filled trim. It's got a thin cap band at the top and bottom of the cap, and a tripple band in the middle of the cap.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE "Swan" SF2 14k Mabie Todd & Co #2 nib is in nice condition, with good tipping. It's smooth, and a little less than what we would call full flex. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. There's hardly any scratching on the pen, just minor handwear. The trim is in great condition, with just a tiny bit of brassing on the ball of the clip and the tip of the lever, the bands and engraving plate are essentially free of wear. The top cap band isn't completely straight, probably due to manufacturing error. All the imprints are readable, and the pen looks great, with no cracks, chips, or big scratches. Fully restored and working well.
The engraving plate is engraved "L.D.T."
