Vintage Wood Grain Pen – GOOD FLEX (On Ebay)
Here is an unbranded woodgrain hard rubber pen. This is a vest size pen similar to a Waterman 52V. Slightly bigger. It feels quite solid and well made. The hard rubber has minimal fading. The gold filled band has a little brassing. The lever looks pretty good except for what appears to be one small chip. The original ring is also missing from the cap. The “Warranted 14kt.” #5 nib is nice writer with good flex. The nib has a good spring even when flexing just a little. A very nice, unbranded pen.
