Filling System Blow Filler |
We have configured this pen as a blow-filler. It's a simple filling process: put the nib in ink, and blow in the hole in the end of the barrel. (Surprsing little pressure is actually required.) Leave the nib in the ink for a few seconds, pull it out and wipe off any excess ink on the section. The pen is ready to write. You don't need to unscrew the barrel, but if you did you'd see a simple rubber sac which will be easy to maintain and replace if it ever wears out. |
| Color | This pen has the shiny and smooth finish, in ripple brown hard rubber. |
| Nib | We've installed on this pen a relatively rare Sheaffer flexible nib from the 1920-30s. This type of nib was found on the oversized flat tops, and it is quite large and looks well on this oversized pen -- a claim not many nibs can make! The flex is excellent, full flex in our opinion, and the condition of the nib is quite lovely with very good tipping material. Please see all the photos and the writing sample below. The feed came from the same Sheaffer pen, so the marriage of nib and feed is extra-good. |
| Condition | Brand new, never used. Shipped in Peyton Street Pens gift box ... and it barely fits! |
