Description:
Comments:
- “Easy action; medium point; smooth” – 1883
- A simpler pinched center than some of the others of the same shape, like the #54 Superb.
- One of the very few examples we can be confident exhibit the Fawn finish. This pen was offered in the Fawn finish later than most others (up through the 1883 catalog)
- Another of the unusual pens that stopped production during WWI and were not revived.
