This was one of a few early gems that turned up in a collection I found in Janesville, though most of the 300 pens found dated post 1930. This one is a bit special. I've never handled another. Condition is superb. I left original patina, though no doubt it would polish up nicely.

The BG was from Raleigh, courtesy of George.   The Parker 32 was from a hoard found in Janesville a couple years ago. There is more of course from Raleigh...

I think this one deserves a polish.  It would look great with some shine on the flat surfaces and black in the recesses.  This is not overly attractive patina.

Doug's cap has a clip.  My barrel was never engraved.  Pen sports a #2 Lucky Curve nib. Also unpolished.
