Manufacturer and Year Welsh Mfg. Co., Providence, RI -- circa 1930s. The company was a manufacturer and made a variety of products, including a line of low end but very colorful fountain pens with steel nibs.
Length 4-1/2".
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well. The mechanical pencil takes 1.1mm leads.
Color Ivory color that has yellowed with age. Thinly gold plated trim with a thin cap band. Black end piece on the fountain pen cap.
Nib MEDIUM steel nib marked "Welsh Mfg. Co. Stainless, Providence R. I."
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a small, unique two-in-one design with consistent coloration. The "cap and barrel" have light scratching with some small deep scratches especially on the barrel. The lever, cap band, nose cone, and clip all have some plating wear but they still look nice. The black end piece on the cap has some small surface marks. The only imprints are on the nib and they are clear.
