Picked this up today at a local antique store that always seems to be closed. It's taken me two years to get in there! Anyway, it appears to never have been used to my eye. No ink staining in the sac or nib and the filler is unbroken. The barrel is discolored a tad compared to the section, but not nearly as bad in regular light as the pics suggest. Cap is flawless as is the pencil. I've never seen one of these in the wild before. This may be my sumgai purchase of the spring for pens.
Does that nib wrap around like the Triumph nib does?
Is there a little tool for adjusting the nib position as sometimes found with the 75? Could be hiding in the lower part of the box.
Nib #65 is a fine point BTW. Congrats on the find!
Here's a pic of the feed/nib attachement. Looks more like a Lamy nib than anything else to me.
Seems I was getting a little low on "51"'s so..... Just got these yesterday
1. "61" Flighter. Capillary was totally clogged. Overnight soak and 15 flushes, good as new. 25.00
2. 1948 4th Quarter Slender, Perfect Condition..... Came with a Jotter. 39.75 for both with shipping
3 1948 4th Quarter Also fantastic condition. Collector was clogged, but about 10 flushings, it's good to go. Was bought with #4
4 1947 4th Quarter Demi. Hood has some gouges, but guess what I have a hood for it. Vacumatic seems to function great. 57.00 for #3 and 4 no shipping charge.
All in all some great finds.
All I did was plunk down some Paypal for the 2012 LE Edison ...
