I’ll include a couple of boxes of cartridges,
too.
A wonderful opportunity to become the owner of
a beautiful and dependable fountain pen. This is a nice Stypen fountain pen. It
has a gold-coloured nib and writes extremely nicely (dip-tested only). Good to
hold, feel and use and close inspection reveals very few of the usual
microscratches that come from being well loved.
Introduced in the twentieth century, I do not
know a name for this model, an interesting design, with a really well-proportioned
slim shape, a strong oblong clip, a generously sized nib and nice writing
performance. Cap is a pull fit.
It is approximately 137mm long capped, 164mm
posted and has a barrel diameter of approximately 10mm. It has a pull-off cap
and a gold-coloured clip. There are no traces of rust showing through on the
clip.
I believe the cap and barrel material is plastic.
Inside the barrel it will obviously take a cartridge or you may use the
convertor for bottled ink. I have not used this pen regularly, just a dip test
and it writes very nicely.
I don’t know much about Stypen – they were French
and were absorbed into the BIC company in 2004.
I’m having to sell off my stuff as we recently
down-sized and there is no pleasure in having beautiful possessions kept in
removals boxes in the garage.
Please see all pictures as they form a part of
the description, if any further info is required please message me.
The starting price is low to encourage bidding
and/or offers and because I’m competing with sellers whose government pay
shipping charges for exports. The converter inside the pen would cost £2.50 or
more elsewhere.
All my items will be carefully and securely
packed for postage. Sadly, I have found it better to use tracked postage to
protect against items being reported as 'not received', therefore postage is
£3.50 to a mainland UK address, otherwise please use the Global Shipping
Programme.
If you buy and win more than one item, I can
combine to save postage as long as you let me know when you've bought the
first.
Enjoy the auction, bid up and win!
Thanks.
