SW826 Swan Self-Filler No. 6242 (Soft Medium)

Date: c1930s

Size: Capped - 128mm; posted - 158mm.

A green marbled celluloid Swan Self-Filler pen.  This pen is in very good condition with no chips or cracks and a nice glossy appearance.  There is some minor surface wear to the barrel and cap as well as some plating wear, mainly to the filling lever.  The cap has a slightly convex top with the Swan logo imprinted.  The clip itself is gold filled with a ball at the bottom and the Swan logo imprinted at the shoulder.  The main barrel imprint is in excellent condition - deep and crisp.  The filling lever is also gold filled and has the small circular end tab that is very much a Mabie Todd trademark.  The nib is the original Swan No.2 in 14 carat gold and with a medium point.

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib has some very pleasant softness to it and will give a little understated line width variation as you write from a fine to a medium width.
