Swan, Mabie Todd - Swan Leverless Pen - No Reserve Price - Fountain pen

The Swan Leverless Pen fountain pen by Mabie Todd & Co. is presented in good condition for its age, fully preserving the historical character that distinguishes these pieces made in England in the mid-20th century. The body and cap, crafted in black ebonite, retain their original shape and a uniform shine, although they show signs of use, micro-scratches, and wear marks typical of an authentic vintage piece.

The cap and clip rings, gold-plated, retain their structural integrity, with visible loss of shine and superficial wear consistent with the age of the instrument. The inscriptions “SWAN LEVERLESS PEN – Mabie Todd & Co. Ltd – Made in England” remain clear and perfectly legible, adding collector's value.

The Swan Eternal Nº 4 nib in 14K gold is in excellent visual condition, with no apparent deformations. It exhibits the typical flexibility of these models, ideal for expressive calligraphy. The ebonite feed retains its original structure and cuts.

The Leverless (twist-fill) filling system shows signs of use at the end of the body, but appears complete and without external structural damage. As with any vintage piece, it may require inspection or replacement of the ink sac to ensure optimal operation.

Overall, this pen offers a presentation consistent with its age: well preserved, functionally intact externally, with original components and attractive to collectors, especially those interested in the history of Mabie Todd & Co. and its emblematic Leverless system.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
