Note: after listing the pen we received a request for a writing sample. The first image is a “dip test” writing sample to show the characteristics of the nib. We unscrewed the grip section and flushed the nib afterward. We did NOT fill the barrel with ink since the listing was already active. 1904 – 1914 Boston Pen Co. 12 Black Chased Ebonite Eyedropper, commonly referred to as a “Boston Safety” because of its non-leakable design. 14k cap band 2.0 g. Estimate Christmas Day, 12/25/14 engraving with H. Jewelers band and clip may be a later addition as the pen pat. Dates on cap and barrel pre-date the engraving by 10 years. NOTE: “F 27 6″ or “F 27 G” very lightly hand-engraved on the bottom of the edge of the cap band – see image. 14k Clip jewelers clip 2.8 g. 14k Boston Safety 2 size Medium Nib – smooth on paper. Cap Patent date July 5, 1904. Barrel Patent Date January 5, 1904. Excellent original ebonite coloration. Chasing is strong, but not super crisp. Any questions, just ask.
