Vintage: 1920s

Make: Unknown

Model: Clipless flat top.

Color: Black

Materials: Black chased hard rubber, gold-plated trim

Filling System: Lever filler (resacced and guaranteed to fill to factory capacity).

Length: This full-sized model measures 4 3/4” capped and 5 13/16” posted. 

Nib: 14k MPCO nib (possibly made by Moore?) yields Super-Flexible variation with Flexible softness, laying down a smooth and consistent XF line that widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.3mm) under light pressure. Thin hairlines, strong snap-back, and reliable flow over its full range of flex make it a good choice for calligraphic writing styles.
