ever-rite

this micropen is a weird little one.  i think it is silver plated iron.  there is nothing to indicate what the metal used is except that i have found a bit of rust inside.  the rust is stable now and i have resacked the pen but out of fear i will mess up the pen i dont really use it.   the most unusual thing about the pen is that except for the feed and the section this pen is entirely metal.  the other unusual thing for a metal pen is that nothing screws together.  the cap is a slip fit cap and the section slip fits into the metal body.  i think its unusual to see slip fit caps on a lever filler as well.



  as far as i can tell ever rite made the smallest lever fillers out there.  mine is 2 3/4" long capped but i have heard of another one that was 2 1/2" long

here is the ever rite side by side with the diamond point.  the nibs are about the same size and style on both pens but the diamond point is 3/8ths of an inch shorter when capped
