Product Description
Type Vintage safety pen in excellent working condition with a flexible nib
Product Name Unknown
Manufacturer and Year Ultraflex, made in Germany -- 1960s.
Length 5-13/16"
Filling System Safety Pen, restored with a new seal. ((To use a safety pen, you uncap it, fill the barrel with ink, then operate the knob on the end of the barrel to extend the nib. The nib seals when fully extended, allowing you to write with an ink-primed nib. When you are done writing, point the nib at the ceiling and operate the knob to retract the nib. Then screw on the cap and the pen is sealed.)
We are told this pen was actually marketed as being suitable for India ink! We can't confirm this so we don't recommend it, and can't guarantee the pen if you do try it with India ink.
Color Black hard rubber with a white cap piece and gold plated trim.
Nib SEMI-FLEXIBLE FINE 14k Bock nib. It is smooth with good line variation. While the brand is called "ulyraflex," we consider this fairly ordinary every day flex. Please see the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with no dings, dents or personalization. The trim is worn and the imprints are clear. It's working well.
