{"product_id":"soennecken-88ef-crown-pen-vintage","title":"Soennecken 88EF Crown Pen (Vintage)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade in the late 1920s in Bonn, Germany, the Soennecken 88EF dip pen is a classic \"crown pen\" in bronze finish with a flexible fine point. These were popular everyday writers 100 years ago in Central Europe, with just enough flex to create interesting handwriting, but not so much that the pen is difficult to control. The tip is very fine, so a feather touch can produce very fine hairlines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eABOUT OUR VINTAGE DIP PENS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the protective coating applied to all dip pens (even new ones produced today), these pens are in excellent vintage condition. They've been checked for rust and other defects by our experts and are ready to return to service on your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any dip pen, you will need to remove the protective coating so that ink will stick to the nib consistently. To remove the coating, simply dip your new pen in ink a couple of times and wipe it off. Repeat until the ink coats the nib completely and doesn't bead up. This process takes about 15 seconds and only needs to be done once, before you use the pen for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold individually.
