{"product_id":"lion-10-extra-fine-pen-nib-vintage","title":"Lion #10 Extra Fine Pen Nib (Vintage)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan between 1955 and 1975, the Lion #10 nib is an ultra-fine pen with a stiff action but some flexibility — perfect for small lettering, cross-hatching, and many other fine tasks with ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChrome-plated and hand-ground, each Lion #10 is stamped with the JIS mark indicating it meets the postwar quality standards established in midcentury. We found these nibs smooth and consistent, especially for their tiny point size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT OUR VINTAGE DIP PENS\u003c\/strong\u003e\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. Appearance may vary slightly since this is a vintage item.
