CS395: Conway Stewart Dinkie No. 560, boxed.

Date: c1960s

Size: Capped - 4 5/16 inches, posted - 5 5/16 inches.

A very pretty little Dinkie made from a beautiful green and black marbled casein with gold veins.  Casein is a form of plastic made from milk proteins.  This pen is in excellent condition, and I can actually find no damage on it at all.  Unusually, all the gold plated trim is in top condition with no wear apparent.  The cap and barrel are have a very good original gloss with no noticeable scratches or other imperfections.  The cap has a small conical gold plated top button that holds on the gold plated pocket clip that has the "CS" monogram within a diamond at the top and another diamond at the bottom.  There is a fairly narrow gold plated cap band below the pocket clip.  The barrel imprint is crisp though shallow and it does not show up well in the marbled pattern of the barrel.  The cute little filling lever has the "CS" monogram imprinted in the circular end tab.  The nib is shiny and totally undamaged, made from 14 carat gold,  and has a fine point.  The original box is also in excellent condition.

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib writes very smoothly with a very nice wet line with consistent ink flow. 

In all, a beautiful pen in excellent condition!
