Model:
Grecian Border ring top
Filling System:
Lever
Color:
Ebonite with chocolate brown appearance with gold filed trim
Length:

Nib:
Fine Flex - The Conklin Toledo 14k gold, size 2 nib is in lovely condition with crisp, clear imprints, and ample tipping material. The nib produced a nice fine line with a light amount of flex during its ink test. This is a small pen, so care should be taken not to 'force' the flex or you will separate the nib from the feed and cause the ink flow to stop. A photo of the ink test has been provided for reference.
