Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1940 Mabie-Todd SWAN Model 3220 in Midnight Blue celluloid Fountain Pen. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in wonderful writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the feed and section. I hand-polished the gold-filled clip, gold-filled 2-ring cap banding, lever, and Mabie-Todd #2 14K NIB. There is a small amount of light wear to the ball of the clip which is very common. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the cap and barrel to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the celluloid of this fountain pen.

This fountain pen is made from celluloid in a midnight blue color. The coloring almost looks black but is midnight blue. The barrel has a great imprint at the center of the barrel and on the butt end of the barrel. The barrel imprint reads, "SWAN LOGO TRADEMARK "SWAN" SELF-FILLER MABIE TODD & CO LTD. MADE IN ENGLAND PAT. NO. 575341". The lower portion of the barrel of the fountain pen has a clean "3220" imprint, which is the model number of the fountain pen.

The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly. There are no monograms or personalizations on the barrel or cap. There are no cracks or repairs to the hard rubber. This Swan 3220 measures 5" in length capped and 6" posted.

The lever assembly has been cleaned, polished, and oiled. It works as it should. There is no wear to the lever.

This pen has a juicy broad 14K "SWAN" Mabie-Todd & Co #2 NIB. When measuring the actual tip (iridium) of the 14K Swan NIB, it measures at 1.03mm with digital calipers. When writing the sample in the listing images, the NIB writes with a fine line measuring roughly .48mm and flexes up to 1.88 triple broad line with medium to firm pressure. The writing sample provided was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue-Black Ink. It is my opinion the nib writes with a smooth, wet line.

This is a fabulous Swan Mabie-Todd 3320 Fountain Pen that is in ready-to-write condition or just add to your writing arsenal collection. I would grade this Swan Eternal in Excellent Condition.
