Condition:             

The Eversharp desk set base is a fantastic version of the iconic Purina checkerboard given to employees in the 1950's for 5-years of loyal service.  The base is in very nice vintage condition with some light wear.  The pen holder is firm and rotates to the desired angle.  The base measures 4 3/4" x 3 3/16".  The Eversharp Gold Seal lever ebonite fountain pen is in nice condition.  The pen has some light surface scratches, the tail has a slight bit of color variation, the trim has some light wear.  The Eversharp 14k broad nib has a light bit of flex.  A neat piece of Americana.

Restoration:

• The pen has been completely disassembled

• The nib and feed have been ultrasonically cleaned

• Breather tube cleaned and reinstalled

• New ink sac installed with 100% pure medical grade talc

• Pen and hardware lightly polished

• Fill tested
