Condition BRAND NEW OLD STOCK FROM THE 1960s! |
This pen is new old stock from the 1960s. It has never been used and the pen has never been inked. Due to the way it was stored, it picked up some corrosion on the gold plated trim, and some inside the cap. The pens are actually looking better than you see in the photos once we are done with them, however please note that some of the clips are weakly secured and might come loose if the clip is flexed. The clips are well secured and not floppy when we ship the pens, but it will be easy to break the metal parts which secure the clip inside the cap, if you pull on the clip. We have discounted it by almost 50% due to the cosmetic issues. We guarantee the pen will write beautifully, and fill and not leak. This will be an excellent daily user! It would be hard to find a replacement nib for this price. |
