Description from the seller
A0000006395
Article: ESTERBROOK STYLOGRAPHIC PEN in red jaspeado/swirl celluloid, cap with two-hole chrome clip and center ring, interchangeable steel nib
Reference / Edition: Esterbrook "Dollar Pen" (two-hole stamped clip), Renew-Point nib No. 2556 "Firm Fine"
Length: 12.2 cm
Diameter: 1.2 cm
Nib: F (Esterbrook 2556, firm fine point, Renew-Point screw-off system)
Period: circa 1935-1945 (1930s-1940s)
Materials: body and cap in red jaspeado celluloid with black and white veins, grip section and feed in black ebonite/resin, chrome-plated clip and cap band, steel nib Durachrome. Lever-fill system with ink sac, specific to the model.
Condition: good condition for its age. The celluloid retains its shine and the red veining is lively, with no noticeable cracks or distortions; fine scratches and signs of use distributed over cap and barrel are observed, and the cursive engraving on the barrel is very worn and practically illegible. There is a small circular hole under the clip on the cap. The chrome clip and cap band retain shine, with light marks and minimal dulling on the cap edge. The 2556 nib appears clean, straight, and with aligned tips, and the grip-thread is in good condition. Vintage piece not serviced in our workshop: a sac check before use with ink is recommended.
Accessories: only the loose piece; no box or papers visible in the photos.
