This is an Eagle Prestige fountain pen in brown brickwork celluloid c. 1939. Â It's rebranded Heacock, with HEACOCK stamped on the nib where EAGLE usually would be and an "H" logo on the clip instead of the EAGLE stamping. Â It's possible the pen was made for Heacock & Freer, a jeweler based in San Francisco, California. Â The pen has four Japanese characters stamped in the barrel, perhaps a personalization. Â This is the large slender size Prestige at about 5 3/16 inches long capped. Â It comes with a 14 karat gold Number 2 size nib, this one being stamped HEACOCK over 14K over MADE IN over UNITED STATES over OF AMERICA over 2. Â The pen has a hidden ink chamber unit that does not touch the inside of the barrel which has a small ink sac attached, like a bulb filler. Â There are two grommeted holes in opposite sides of the barrel to allow airflow around the ink chamber to keep it from overheating, preventing leaking. Â The pen fills by removing the black end cap and pressing the paddle, compressing the ink sac. Â Â Â
