Product Description
Type Vintage safety pen in excellent working condition with a flexible nib.
Product Name Unknown
Manufacturer and Year Unknown. The nib says "Paris Garanti 18cts 10". There are some hallmarks and possible maker's marks on the surface, but we are unable to find them in our go-to resource.
Length 4-7/8" capped.
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 already 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 will send instructions for usage when we ship the pen.
Color Black hard rubber, with sterling silver overlaid on most of the surface. The overlay has a pattern of grouped lengthwise lines.
Nib FLEXIBLE MEDIUM, really good flex (see writing sample below).
Condition Excellent condition. The surface of the cap and barrel overlay has some tiny denting and scattered dots of pitting. The hard rubber is faded to a dark olive-brown on either side of the overlay, with a darker portion where the cap overlaps the section. The piece at the end of the barrel is imprinted with the number "117". The clip has some wear scattered dots, but is working well. No personalization.
