I rather like this one, as I have not seen many Century pens in celluloid. Seems the company was more active earlier during the HR era.

Very nice example - the color is just great. I have very few plastic Century pens, and I don't believe that I have even a single "Durapoint" in plastic, so this was a pleasure to see. I somewhat recently picked up a nice little deco'ish jade plastic Century with a stepped cap top. Perhaps I can get a scan posted...

There just aren't nearly enough old blue celluloid pens around, and I never tire of seeing them. I suppose I'll never actually see one in my own hand, but I can dream.
Cool pen!

NICE!!! Century is a company I have quite the appreciation for. (I'm actually sitting in Whitewater, WI as I type this!) I've had a few decent examples, but the majority of them are way out of my price range for my general purchasing! That one though is a superb example.
