Product Name Unknown
Manufacturer and Year Pick Pen Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. They made pens from 1920 to 1933, and since this model seems vaguely Balance-like, we are guessing this pen is from the later years.
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and its working well.
Color Black pearl with gold plated trim. Double cap band. Humped clip.
Nib Flexible MEDIUM-FINE gold Pick #1 nib. See writing sample below.
Condition Very nice condition with no cracks. This is a nice-sized, shiny pen with classic styling. The "pearl" areas of the coloration are quite caramelized on the barrel and the cap is considerably darkened. Still, the pen is a good-looker. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip with some small, deep scratch marks in that same vicinity. The cap and barrel have overall light to moderate scratching. The lever has plating wear near the end and small scratches. The cap bands have plating wear along most of the edges. The clip has plating wear on the ball end and along the top. The imprint is clear.
