This scarce pen is the only example I’ve had of a MORRISON STERLING SILVER OVERLAY ring- top pen. The pen is a 3-7/8 long and a sterling filigree overlay pattern with no decoration on the hard rubber. Marked MORRISON with an LM within a wreath on the lever and STERLING at the top of the barrel overlay. There are no flaws to either the hard rubber or to the sterling overlay. The pen is a lever filler and will need a new sac before it will take up ink. Section and feed are flawless. The nib is a MORRISON, 14Kt, N. It looks like a medium nib with excellent iridium, straight and with lots of flex…. Overall a beautiful pen.

Here’s a really excellent large size WATERMAN STERLING SILVER mechanical pencil from about 1925. I think the model number for this pencil is #425. It is 5-3/8 long with with a hefty barrel diameter. The pencil has the FILIGREE STERLING SILVER OVERLAY. Within the the monogram box, there is a large three letter block imprint, “BSA” (possibly Boy Scouts of America). The tapered end front end is hard rubber with a stainless steel tip. Marked WATERMAN’S just below the eraser cap and STERLING MADE in USA at the base of the barrel. The clip is marked STERLING and WATERMAN’S IDEAL with GLOBE logo. The pencil is a tip twist advance and it operates perfectly using. The top twists off to allow removal of the lead magazine and eraser. There is no eraser and no extra lead in the magazine. Lovely pencil and in super condition.

This scarce pen is the only example I’ve had of a full sized, all sterling silver overlay (on hard rubber) Morrison pen. The pen is a 5-3/16 long and is decorated all over with a chased wave pattern which almost seems like a repousse pattern with slight relief on the unlined portion of the wave. Marked MORRISON with an LM within a wreath on the lever and STERLING SILVER at the top of the barrel overlay. I’ve had this pen for many years and note that the lever and spring clip do not tarnish like the rest of the pen, yet are quite bright and likely plated with a material like Vanadium which I know that Morrison used on some of their pens. The pen is a lever filler with a good sac that takes up ink. There are no external flaws with the exception of minor denting around and on the top of the cap. The cap opening is not perfectly rounded and hence fits snugly (but not overly so) over the barrel. One minor scratch on the section. The nib is a replacement 14K EHCO in an oval (EGGINS & HAMBLER of Newark, NJ). It looks like it may have had some straightening at some point, but is now straight, good iridium, probably a fine width and modest flexibility. Overall a beautiful pen.
