The subject line pretty much says it all. This is a HUGE, I mean FREAKIN' big functional dip pen. From what I've been able to learn this is one of, if not the largest dip pen made. Manufactured around 1900 or so. It's in excellent condition, part of the original label is still present. The nib is the largest functional nib of any kind I've ever come across. It's stamped "midget" (which I find very funny) made in England and is correct for this pen. The holder is made of wood & is a painted swirled design. No paint chips or flakes, but there is a bit of a crackle effect going on.
David Nishimura has this same piece on his site, in a lesser condition for $150. i bought it right and will let it go for an even <S>$100.</S> Ok how about $75
Kissy Kissy. MUAH!
Yes that is a Sheafer No Nonsense just below the dip pen. So..Uh..yeah. It's pretty big.
