Condition:
This top of the line Venus President fountain pen, made by the American Pencil Company in Hoboken, New Jersey, was produced in the late 1940s. The pen features a vibrant striated red, pearl, and black body with a matching cap and solid colored dome. The gold-plated clip, cap band, and lever are all in lovely condition, and the barrel imprint is crisp, clear, and readable. There are no cracks, chips, or personalizations. It is fitted with a fine 14k gold nib, which offers a pleasantly springy writing experience. The pen has been ultrasonically cleaned, a new ink sac installed, and it has been ink tested. With its sleek styling and vintage charm, it’s the kind of pen E.T. might have kept in his pocket for those times when phoning home just didn’t say enough.
