AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Eversharp Symphony fountain pen, a classic model designed by the famous industrial designer Raymond Loewy (who also designed Shell's logo and the Lucky Strike package).
Here is the detail of its main features:
Model Identification
Brand: Eversharp (owned by Parker shortly after these models were produced).
Model: Symphony. From the shape of the cap and the lever, it seems to be from the 7xx or 9xx series, produced in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Color: Burgundy resin (or "Dubonnet Red").
Components and Design
Nib: It is a 14K gold nib, as indicated by the inscription "14K - MADE IN USA". It has a heart-shaped breather hole, an elegant and functional detail typical of the era.
Cap: Made of gold-filled metal, with an aerodynamic design and the distinctive Eversharp clip with the brand inscription running vertically.
Filling System: It is a lever-filler pen. The side lever on the body is raised to compress an internal rubber sac that absorbs ink when released.
Grip Section: It features a threaded section to secure the cap and a nib of the same color as the body.
The Eversharp Symphony was the brand's attempt to regain the market after the financial failure of its "CA" pen in the mid-40s. It is known for being an excellent writer, since Eversharp nibs from this era typically have a slight flexibility, allowing variations in line width.
The pen is in perfect condition of conservation and writing. The internal sac is in perfect condition.
The pen measures 13.8 cm.
