Bottom Shelf: This pen has been gently used, but is otherwise in great shape. While every effort to clean these pens is made, you might see residual ink or water, as they are not brand new. All Bottom Shelf sales are final.
With Platinum's latest technology and innovative cap design, the "Slip & Seal" mechanism in this #3776 Century model prevents the ink from drying out for up to 24 months. This translucent blue fountain pen is accented by gold trim and features a 14k gold nib. It accepts proprietary Platinum cartridges or a Platinum converter (both included) for use with bottled ink.
