CR076 The Croxley Pen (Fine)

Date: c1930s

Size: Length Capped 127mm; Posted - 157mm.

This is a large and chunky Croxley in green and black marbled celluloid with gold filled trim.  As you can see from the close-up photos below, there is some marking and scuffing to the cap yop button and to the end of the barrel.  These marks and scuffs are likely to be toothmarks.  They are not overly noticeable and do not detract too much from the pen's nice, glossy appearance.   There is also a little high-point plating wear to the filling lever and the pocket clip.  Both cap and barrel have a good original gloss to them.  The cap has a large conical-ended top button holding on the stylised arrow Croxley pocket clip.  There is also a narrow gold filled cap band.  The barrel has twin imprints - one saying "MADE IN GT BRITAIN", and the other "THE CROXLEY PEN / A DICKINSON PRODUCT".  They are nice and deep and crisp with excellent definition.  The gold filled filling lever is also in the form of an arrow.  The original Dickinson nib is in 14 carat gold and has a fine width point. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib writes very well indeed with a very good smooth, wet and fine width line.
