Condition Excellent condition. This is a lovely, large button-filling fountain pen, clearly inspired by the Parker Vacumatic. There is light to moderate handwear and scratching on the cap and barrel. The cap has lots of tiny little scratches, as well as some small scuff marks. The clip has some brassing along the edges. The clip ring also has brassing and plating wear. The cap bands have plating wear. The section looks great. There are some rough spots in the cap threads, and the cap doesn't always screw on smoothly. There are marks on the barrel from the cap lip. The barrel has light scratching. No cracks or chips. The tassie on the blind cap has brassing and some plating wear. The imprint is clear.
The Williamson pen company is not very well known, but there is a brief history located here.
