The pen presents itself in very good overall condition, notably for the excellent preservation of its original celluloid, which maintains an attractive shine and notable visual depth in its characteristic vertical grooves in brown and bronze tones. No cracks or deformations are observed, indicating careful preservation over time.

The cap retains its shape and proper fit, with the upper end (derby) in good structural condition. The engraving “Eversharp Skyline” on the cap ring is perfectly legible, adding value and authenticity to the piece. The gold-plated clip maintains a good presence, showing light signs of use and surface wear consistent with the age of the item, without affecting its functionality.

The lever-fill mechanism has been tested and is operable, allowing immediate functional use. The section shows a light patina typical of the passage of time, with no cracks or structural damage.

The 14-karat gold nib is in good condition, with visible engravings and no appreciable deformities. It offers smooth and consistent writing, in line with the quality expected from this type of vintage pieces.

Overall, this is a well-preserved fountain pen, fully functional and with a striking aesthetic appeal, ideal for both use and collection.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specific for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks. If not used for extended periods, clean with lukewarm water, dry completely before storing, and keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Gently operate the lever-fill mechanism to ensure its longevity.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper conservation.

Good luck with the auction!
