Description;

This is a nice example of the iconic Lifetime Fountain Pen, this is the Tuckaway version, short when capped to fit neatly in the shirt pocket but a full sized  pen with the cap posted, ready for use. It is fitted with the short military clip so it also complied with the regulation that clips should not be visible beneath the flap on a uniform shirt pocket.

The pen was made in the USA and dates from around 1935. The pen is finished in classic Black Celluloid with gold filled trim.

It is fitted with a lovely Triumph wraparound 14ct gold Extra Fine nib which writes very smoothly.

The pen fills with the Vacuum Filling system (or Vac-Fil) which has been fully serviced.

The condition is very good with only very light wear marks.

Condition: Grade A
