LB012 Laban Sterling Silver Ballpoint, boxed.

Date: c2010

Size: Length - 128mm

A very pretty sterling silver ballpoint with a distinctly vintage appearance.  In general design it reminds me very much of a 1920s Sheaffer Lifetime pencil.  This is an old stock pen that has been sitting in my storeroom for several years,  It has only been taken out of its presentation box to be photographed, so it is still in pristine condition.  This pen has a long flared crown which is twisted t extend and retract the writing point.  The imprint "Laban" can be found around the bottom of the crown.  The lovely spade-ended pocket clip is riveted at the shoulder and finished off with two tiny cross-headed rivets or screws, I am unsure which.  The barrel is polished and shiny and lovely. On the barrel is a full Birmingham hallmark with the date code for 2010.  The crown will unscrew to allow the replacement if the refill.  It will accept any Parker/G2 refill.  The original red leatherette covered box is also in great condition.  Inside, the pad is made from a flocked white material, as is the lid lining.  Outside, "Laban" is tooled on the top of the lid in white.
