Vintage Diamond Point Long & Short Fountain Pen Set W/ 14K Nib - Restored
Vintage Diamond Point Long & Short Fountain Pen Set W/ 14K Nib - Restored
Diamond Point Pen Company was a pen manufacturer in NYC. Produced quality pens from the 1920's through the mid-1930's. Quality declined after the mid-1930's. One of the most uniquely designed fountain pen of it's time was the Long & Short. Diamond Point patented this design in 1930 and produced it until around 1935. Although this particular set is not marked and sports a Parker nib, all evidence points to this being made by Diamond Point Pens in the early 1930's. When threaded closed, pocket sized pen measures only 3 3/8". Unscrew the back end, turn it around, thread it back into the cap, and this little pocket pen turns into a full-length fountain pen measuring 5 5/8". Pen is glossy green/gold with red veins. It is very typical for this color to amber. Thankfully this one has aged gracefully. The barrel has ambered pretty evenly to a color that actually matches the vein colors pretty well. Plastic surface shows some minor desk/use wear with a few nicks and scuffs. Nothing too major. Plating on the 2 cap bands is very good. Lever is a little low towards the front and does have some pitting, but is solid and tab sits flush. The original nib was most likely a 14K Warranted, but this one is a very nice 14K Parker Pen nib. Fine point with just a tad of flex and good iridium on tips. Lever filler system has been restored and is ready to fill and write for another 80 plus years.
Twist actuated mechanical pencil propels and retracts lead correctly. Color is a brighter green than the pen with red veins pattern. Plastic surface shows no damage, although the plating is somewhat thin. $80.00 |
