Product Description
Type |
Vintage Italian button filler |
Product Name | Unknown |
Manufacturer and Year | The nib is marked Zenith Extra Oro, which is associated with a relatively obscure Italian brand that did mostly mail order sales, and frequently had their pens made by other manufacturers. The pen is very nicely made. (We have a pen marked Tibaldi that is almost an exact match.) |
Length | 5" |
Filling System | Button filing pen, in excellent working condition. We replaced the sac. |
Color | Blue lapis celluloid with black end caps, gold plated trim. |
Nib | 14k Zenith Extra Oro #1 nib. In excellent condition with lots of tipping material and extra gold on the tip. A few tool marks on the side of the nib. Semi-flex with a nice smooth soft feel, but no line variation. |
Condition | Excellent working condition. There is some wear to the gold plating on the cap band, but we can't tell if the clip is all brassed or not at all brassed! The celluloid is really nice with only light scratches, though the black cap that covers the button has quite a few bite marks. |
