A valuable vintage period piece has arrived. Limited quantity. While supplies last.
The glass pen by the inventor of the glass pen, SASAKI SHOTEN, established by the wind-bell maker Sasaki Sadajiro in the Meiji (1868-1912) era.
Being a manufacturer that is no longer in existence, the unbroken item fetches a very high price.
This item, which I sell on Amazon in Japan, has received a high rating review.
This glass pen is very smooth, despite the Fine. It is known as a glass pen of the highest manufacturing standards, even by today's standards.
Clear glass nib in the color of Porcelain White is beautifully crafted, show the high level of manufacturing skill of the past.
The barrel is made of hollow bamboo and weighs only 5.0 grams, which is lighter than it looks.
The glass part of the nib is large, about 30mm, and this makes the writing quality better and the ink last longer. (The glass part dimensions vary.)
The description of the body label is as follows:
「TRADE MARK 簿記 製図 細字」「東京・練馬」(TRADE MARK Bookkeeping and Drafting Fine, TOKYO Nerima)
「インキ壷へ脱脂綿ヲ入レテ御使用下サイ」(It is recommended to place a cotton ball as a cushion in the ink bottle to prevent the nib from breaking when dipped into the ink bottle)
「発売元 佐々木商店」(Released by SASAKI SHOTEN)
