Product Description

Color A metal pen sleeve with a clip on it. The clip is imprinted with a swan. It can hold a narrower pen like an Esterbrook but not a larger modern pen. It was intended for clip-less pens. We're not sure about the metal which may be nickel, but it's not sterling or sterling plated.
Condition Excellent condition. The imprint is very clear. The metal has some scratches, especially at the top of the back side. The coloring/finish has an uneven quality on the back side, with blemish marks. The metal is still responsive and not brittle.
