Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1930 Oversize Flat Top Gold Bond Fountain Pen in this beautiful mottled Red and Black celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in wonderful writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Replaced the old sac with a new, properly sized sac. I have hand-polished the gold-filled clip, wide cap banding, and 14K nib. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel and cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the celluloid of the fountain pen. The material of the pen is celluloid but is mimicking the mottled hard rubber markers during this time period. This Gold Bond is an Oversize model that measures 5 3/8" capped and 6 1/2" posted.

The fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap has the Gold Bond stamped clip. The clip displays no wear of the gold-filled material. The 1/4" wide cap banding displays a wonderful rich gold-filled color displaying no wear. The barrel is stamped with, "GOLD BOND STONITE". There are no personalization or monograms to this fountain pen. The celluloid on this fountain pen displays very rich and vibrant colors.

This Gold Bond has a lever-filling mechanism which I have tested it with water and fills as it should. Works as it is designed to.

The NIB is 14K that writes with a wet, fairly smooth line. The actual writing portion (iridium) of the 14K NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .67mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a fine to broad stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the fine line measures at .56mm with light pressure, and the broad line measures at 1.16mm with medium to firm pressure when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample 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 Blue Ink.

This vintage Gold Bond Oversize Flat Top Fountain Pen is in exceptional condition with fabulous color. I would consider this Gold Bond to grade in Excellent+ to Near Mint Condition. It is collector-grade quality, ready to write with, or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
