Good day everyone, in the past years I've been given by family members a few 'old' pens.
In the process of sorting them out I'm trying to understand what is under the gold skin of a couple of them.
This one lever is a lever filler.
The nib has the writing 'WARRANTED WING-FLOW U.S.A 4'
The lip of the cap has imprinted 'WATERMAN'S 18 K.R.
The lever has the globe design on it
The rubber sac needs replacing and I'm trying to find out how to remove the section in order to do this.
The clip on the cap has gone missing ages ago.
I've never dipped the nib in the ink bottle so I don't know how it writes. It looks a 'fine' nib to me though.
I know that in the past, 20s-30s it was normal to cover a pen's body with gold, so I guess this is the period of this pen.
