Today I received 30 vintage Indian pens from Pune based collector Dr. Madhav Paranjape for Rs 2500/-. This gorgeous eyedropper pen from that set has a brand-name Rolex, which is relatively unknown to me, perhaps marketed in Maharastra side in those days 45 years back. The celluloid still maintains a nice sheen, the translucent end finial adds a fine attitude. The Clip and clip finial are composite, over-the-top design, the cap band is missing, reducing the beauty a bit. The clip needs a re-plating and a cap band needs to be fitted. The body of the pen needs a round of polish. Overall , this 45+ year pen is in a very good state of preservation.
