Publisher:
Date Published: c.1940s
Description: Small balance-form fountain pen fully decorated in nashiji maki-e, with abundant gold dust sprinkled over the entire length of cap and barrel. 14K rolled gold clip and cap band (clip resembles a Platinum clip but bears no maker's imprint). 123mm. Gold-tone "Special" arrow-vent nib, slight flex. Excellent condition, touch of brassing to cap band. The nib and clip are unbranded, but this pen is almost surely made by Platinum.***********************
