Lakeside Flattop

Lakeside Unknown, flattop

Color: Jade
Material: Celluloid

Filler: Lever
Date c. ca. 1920s

Nib: 14K M-ish, slight flex
Working? Yes

Another rare brand, Lakeside was th top-of-the-line pen produced for Montgomery Ward in the early half of the 20th C. Beyond the Lakeside name, I was not able to find a model for this pen. The 14K nib is springy, not quite flexy, but a sweet writer. The Jade is in very good condition, with almost none of the discoloration that plagues so many Jade celluloid pens.
