The dark blue is beautiful, too.<br /><br />Jack, the factory superintendent probably would have used a vest pocket pen, shorter than a regular sized one and meant for taking notes. And once I have the pen I'll show off it's writing style. :)dianebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13856902356103585311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-24316753072181709742011-03-31T23:42:45.907-04:002011-03-31T23:42:45.907-04:00I just had my dollar pen restored as well.

It now has a 9314-B, and writes great! Mine was green though, not the nice dark blue that yours is. I almost think I like the dark blue better. :)ThirdeYehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08327965364500972786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-162505706073664121.post-50309663229762510312011-03-31T20:27:44.559-04:002011-03-31T20:27:44.559-04:00Beautiful photos by restorer 777, Diane.

Somewhere in my social imagination, this is the pen the factory superintendent would've bought for the shirt pocket in his shop floor office. Still beautiful, but less fancy-schmancy than those other pens. Besides, he'd have been anxious about one-upping the factory owners and directors.<br /><br />Will you let us know how this beaut works? Jack/YoungstownAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
