Eyedropper Safety From Milan

[sidthecat]

Caught a nice nib with a pen attached: a gold-filled ringtop safety pen with a Canada nib. The cap's dinged-up, but fingers crossed it can be repaired. It's the nib, of course: a long-tined beauty that spreads if you blow on it. I'm very excited.

 

The seller bought it 35 years ago in Milan as an artist's pen, and it only popped up in my search last night. I took three pens off my watch list so I wouldn't feel quite so much an idiot, but therapy isn't cheap, either.

Would be nice to see some pics, once they have arrived...

If I can hold the phone still...

Finally got around to it...sorry for the wait.

It's definitely a Waterman nib, ... but the pen doesn't look like a Waterman to me (nice one anyway).

 

Furthermore, the end of the pen should be screwed more tighly (remove the cap to do it, not to damage the nib).

A lovely pen indeed, Waterman or not, and that nib is certainly a thing of beauty. Good catch.

It's a full-sized pen, despite the ringtop, and I rather think you're right about its non-Waterman origins. It's pretty dinged-up and leaks like a sieve, so I'll have to send it out.
