[WTS] Vintage Swan Mabie Todd BCHR 14ct gold XXF Full Flex nib with excellent elasticity
Sold
£145
The ebonite on this pen has got some browning as seen in a lot of vintage black ebonite pens. The chasing patten can still be seen but not tactile. There is no deep scratch/dent/crack. This is a clip less model. Condition rating [BC]
The nib in this one is a 14C gold XXF with excellent softness and flex to it. Most importantly it has got a brilliant responsiveness aka snapback which is the key for great line variation.
The feeder is made of ebonite and keeps up with the ink flow perfectly.
It's also has a leverfiller. The lever is also made of same ebonite hence blends in nicely and no headache of brassing on metal lever handle.
Please see the writing sample video (keep the audio on for the ambiance 😊) and photos here:
The pen has been serviced recently, new ink sac installed and in fully functional condition.
The nib has been closely inspected and ensured to give a very nice writing experience.

I am a medical doctor by profession with a full-time day job. I do this purely out of passion for fountain pens, specially vintage flex pens. I can safely say that I understand flex nibs and have owned a lot of them over the years. If you have been looking for a vintage pen with a flex nib, please drop me a text. If it is not this particular pen, I might be able to find the right pen at the right price for you as I am trimming down my massive collection. Many thanks.
