Wtt: Osmiroid 75 For Esterbrook--Traded

[pamsc]

**Pen is taken**

 

I have for offer a brown Osmiroid 75 (the piston filler) with a broad straight italic nib, used and still working but not renovated and with mild scratches. Understand that this is a pen that will benefit from some renovation, not one in perfect shape.

 

The Osmiroid was sold mostly in italic sets--by family history I think this one dates from the 1960s or 1970s. It is a piston filler, but the knob is difficult to turn; I would say the piston needs greasing, at least. You can see it has wear, mostly I suspect from being in a cup of pens and pencils, but the marks are shallow and might completely polish out. I haven't used the italic nib--I don't like sharp italics. One of the advantages of the Osmiroid is that it takes standard Esterbrook nibs. I would like to trade for a vintage lever filler with a wet medium nib--Esterbrook SJs work well for me. I would also consider a higher value Esterbrook nib such as a 9788 without a pen.
