This is a beautiful and rare pen from the UK manufacturers Mentmore. It dates from the mid 1930's. The cap is made from standard black celluloid but the barrel is transparent celluloid with blue and green marble pigments. This type of finish was very difficult to produce at the time and is now very rare. The transparent section has ambered over the years but it is still easy to see the beautiful marbled pigments within.

The pen is a button filler and it has been fully serviced. The original 14ct gold nib is a Medium.
