Condition:              Very nice overall condition.  The gold plated trim on the clip and lever are in good condition with minimal wear.  The barrel is clearly stamped VENUS AUTOGRAPH over AMERICAN PENCIL CO. over HOBOKEN MADE IN U.S.A NEW JERSEY. The cap and barrel have some very light surface scratches.  There is a slight speard at the lever.  The pen has been cleaned, a new ink sac installed and it's ready for ink.
