Today I received 30 vintage Indian pens from Pune based collector Dr. Madhav Paranjape. This one from that set is a Wilson eyedropper modeled after early Parker Vaccumatis. The herringbone pattern on the celluloid is beautiful, similar to the previous one, but this one is greenish while the previous one was grey in colour. This pen has a translucent end finial. I did not attempt to clean the clip and the cap band. Later the clip and cap band would require re-plating and the body needs to buffed with soft cloth. At 45+ years the pen looks reasonably well preserved. The original Wilson nib has been replaced by the seller with a Sulekha nib.
