Item Description:Up for sale is a beautiful, vintage 1920s Eclipse gold-filled lever-filling fountain pen. This estate find features a highly desirable and intricate geometric checkerboard engraved pattern across the entire cap and barrel. The barrel is clearly stamped with the classic "Eclipse" logo on the filling lever.This pen is equipped with its original 14K gold nib. It is being sold in unrestored, untested, as-is condition straight from a local estate sale—perfect for a vintage pen collector or restoration hobbyist.Condition Notes (Please Read Before offerding):
- Aesthetics: The gold-filled body has a gorgeous vintage patina. There are no major dents, deep gouges, or severe "brassing" (wear-through to the base metal) visible.
- Nib Condition: The original 14K gold nib is present but has a slight visual bend near the tip (please reference the photos for exact alignment). It will require straightening or tuning by the buyer.
- Mechanism: The lever moves smoothly, but the pen is completely untested with ink. Assume the 100-year-old internal rubber ink sac is dried out and will need to be replaced to make the pen fully functional.
Please review all high-resolution photos carefully as they serve as the primary description of the pen's physical condition.Shipping & Handling:
Packaged with extreme care in a rigid box and shipped promptly. Feel free to reach out with any questions before purchasing!
