Pen OM181 – Paul Wirt Eyedropper Pen - $495
Black Chased Hard Rubber, Domed Cap, USA, 1880s
14k Superflex BB Stub Nib, No Vent Hole, Normal Nib When Not Flexed
|
|
Overall Grade: Very Good Metal: N/A Color: Excellent
Nib condition: Excellent Thread: Excellent Clarity: (n/a)
Nib Type: Superflex BB Stub Imprints: Yes Length: 5 1/16"
PRICE: $495
COMMENTS: This offering is for a very early Paul Wirt eyedropper pen in black hard rubber. The barrel is chased while the cap is smooth. This is not a mismatch, but make like this by the factory. Other manufacturers like Mabie Todd also used the same smooth/chased configuration in some of their early eyedropper pens. Domed cap. Slip-on cap. Screw-on section. Full size pen, measuring 5 1/16" long (capped). Like most early pens of this era, this pen has a slim profile. Fitted with a solid 14k Paul Wirt nib. This is a very early nib without a vent hole. Nibs without vent hole were very common in steel and 14k gold dip nibs made before fountain pen nibs. This nib is what I would grade as a Superflex BB stub. It can produce double broad lines in the vertical down strokes and fine horizontal lines when no pressure is applied. With pressure, the down stroke lines can become the equivalent of BBB/BBBB, which is monster line variation. This nib is also able to write like a normal nib when not flexed. Fairly decent pen for being about 130 years old. Light discoloration in the exterior. Fair chasing in the barrel with some light scratches. Pen barrel is very slightly warped ... and very hard to notice. Otherwise, this is a very clean pen. Eyedropper filler. Fully serviced. Made in the USA in the 1880s.

Nib Type: Music / Stub Imprints: No Length: 5 1/2”
PRICE: SOLD
COMMENTS: Sailor 1911 Full-Sized fountain pen in yellow resin and gold trim. This is an oversized pen, measuring 5 1/2" long (posted) and 6" long (posted). Fitted with a 14K sailor 1911 "Music" nib. What Sailor calls a music nib is actually a BB Stub nib. A true music nib is a 3-tine nib with two slits. This nib is a 2-tine nib with only one slit. Its capabilities are to produce very thick vertical lines (approx. 1.2 mm in width) and very thin horizontal lines (approx. 0.45 mm in width). The profile of this nib and its writing capabilities are exactly the ones of a double broad stub nib; hence the reason I prefer to call this a BB Stub nib. Ultra smooth writer with nice rounded edges. This pen has been used, but is in excellent condition. Cartridge converter filling mechanism. Converter, pen box or papers are not available. Made in Japan. This pen retails for $310.
