ST017: Stephens Leverfil No. 106

Date: c1930s

Size: Length - 5 inches capped; 6 1/4 inches posted.

This attractive black chased celluloid Stephens fountain pen is in excellent condition.  I can find no damage on this pen at all.  Both cap and barrel have a very good original sheen, and the chasing, in the very popular barleycorn attern, is still crisp and sharp with no apparent wear.  I can see no noticeable scratches, sorface wear or any other damage.  The cap has the typical 1930s streamlined styling with a large black hard rubber top button.  It is fitted with a washer style gold plated pocket clip with a terminal ball, and a single narrow gold plated cap band.  The barrel has a good deep imprint - somewhat smudged looking due to the way Stephen's made their imprints.  Opposite is a plain straight gold filled filling lever.  The nib is a very nice 14 ct Warranted nib in an extra-fine point.

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is nice and smooth and writes with a very good wet and extra-fine width line.
