Christopher writes: "Sometimes, but all too often for me, a vintage pen just catches and keeps my interest. Such is the case with this exquisite Morrison, finished in sapphire blue with 14k Gold filled fittings."

He continues: "The pen has, to my mind, a simple elegance in design and overall appearance. The blue plastic came with a sheen that was even more impressive when polished. The Morrison pens I have come across have always had extremely good quality nibs and this pen is no exception. The gold filled clip has an interesting spear shape, sitting raised on a more squared shape background. Nice touch, as is the lever filler, which in a way matches the cap clip but is inverted toward the bottom of the rounded barrel end. The cap band is reasonably wide and is engraved 1/40 – 14KT. R.G.P., while the barrel is imprinted Morrison Fountain Pen Co. New York, N.Y. USA and a Pat. This pen is a lovely writer, smooth and even with ink on the paper. A pleasure to use and a great addition to my vintage pen collection."
