Product Description
Type Ring-Top Fountain Pen
Product Name Unknown, but we are guessing this was a deluxe model or a custom model.
Manufacturer and Year The Moore Pen Co., Boston, Mass., USA, 1920s
Length 3-11/16" capped, and about 4-3/4" long when posted. Really small!
Filling System Lever filler, restored with a new sac and guaranteed for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Black hard rubber with gold plated trim. There are six gold-plated bands on the cap, and a small (1/2"w X 1/4"h) panel for personalization. The base of the ringtop hardware is 14k gold.
Nib Moore #2 nib. Has some flexibility, we'd consider it semi-flex. You'll see line variation from extra-fine to a narrow broad. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a small, dainty, ring-top pen in a classic design. The black hard rubber is smooth and has faded to a dark chocolate brown. The original black can be seen on the section under the cap. There is some light scratching on the cap and barrel, but mainly the surface is quite smooth. The barrel has uneven fading toward the end. The lever bar looks good, with some tiny touches of brassing around the tab end. The cap has light scratching, and some marks around the top edge. The cap bands and panel look quite nice, with minimal brassing and no plating wear. The ringtop hardware looks good. We don't see any imprints except for the nib.
