SOLD: Aurora 88P with Medium Stub Nib

For sale is a vintage Aurora 88P with a medium hand ground stub nib. The 88P was the third generation of the 88 and was manufactured from 1958 to 1964. This pen was probably made around 1962-63 based on the serial number and that the 88P sold 3.8 million units. The hood, barrel, and piston knob are all made from celluloid and have a nice deep black color that you don’t get with some vintage ebonite pens. The ink window is very clear considering the age of the pen. You won’t have a problem seeing the ink level or the piston. The piston is in great working order and operates almost as smooth as my Pelikan M200. This pen has a semi-gloss finish that you can see in the next photo when compared to a polished body. If the buyer prefers, I can polish the pen for no additional charge. The last photo shows a writing sample of the super smooth medium stub. Notice the line variation, something more associated with cursive italics, but this one won’t have the harsh edges so you can write at full speed and still have that buttery smooth feel. $140 SOLD
