Perhaps the most distinctively Art Deco pen made, designed by Henry Deyfuss, one of the most prolific designers of everyday use objects of the Art Deco era. This is a larger model, and the striated cap is a rarity. I’m putting it at the later end of production (1940-48) because of the ‘over the top’ structure at the clip – earlier pens, I believe, had the plainer domed top to the cap. As with most vintage gold-nib pens, it’s a gorgeous writer, and while it only has a small hint of flex, it is an expressive writer. |
