antique deeply carved Mother-of-Pearl Dip Pen delicious gorgeous elegantFresh estate find.Elegantly understated, as many fine antiques are. Deeply spiral-carved handle of a single piece of gorgeous iridescent mother-of-pearl. Followed by a gold colored textured band and fitted holder, marked only with a "3" (untested, my best guess is gold filled). Tip is marked "Edw [illegible] ....New York". The nib halves tend to want to 'cross' each other and the overall impression (of the nib) is simply "well used". Total length is about 6-1/4", or about 5-1/2" without the nib. Unusually impressive fine elegant Victorian / Edwardian writing instrument.Shipped boxed, of course.USA Bidders --Immediate payment, please , and that assures that your package will be promptly on its way. This is a huge help and we greatly appreciate your cooperation. We use USPS (note the recent rate increases) and FedEx (for heavier objects). We always do a genuinely better-than-necessary job packing ( one less concern) and with top-quality packing materials, recycled when possible. After payment is received we ship 'Same Day' or 'Next Day' (another pleasant non-concern).International Bidders -- Please Review THOROUGHLY !We have updated our International shipping terms to offer the absolutely lowest costs. We now offer, whenever possible, First Class International Shipping starting at $10.20. Just e-mail for an ESTIMATE and then, after the auction is over, I'll send an Invoice (which will accurately relect any additional costs and an exact packaged weight). The following options are still offered for International Priority Mail. For SMALL or LIGHTWEIGHT items (under 4 pounds) items are carefully ,wrapped and/or boxed and then placed inside a sturdy USPS Flat Rate 9"x15" heavy cardboard envelope. This flat rate is $26.50 worldwide (to Canada $22.50). Again, only small or lightweight objects qualify for this rate. For LARGER or HEAVIER items that do not qualify for the first alternative there are two other options: 1) Pre-approved "Calculated Shipping" (using your location and the actual packaged weight) by contacting us before bidding for an accurate quote (and allowing us to add you to our pre-approved bidder list); or 2) use eBay's "Global Shipping Program". Feel free to ask us any questions. Please WAIT FOR AN INVOICE!! Please Note : Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.We've enjoyed doing this for a long time. We have a good eye for quality and buy objects that are primarily nice things to own and that we think others will appreciate. Please realize we may not be aware of the finer details in your area of collecting, especially nuances about condition and grading specifics. Bear with us and ask questions!Everything we sell is old and will show signs of use - hopefully in a positive way.

Don't assume anything not clearly stated in the description or obvious in the photos. The photos are critically important - review them carefully and thoroughly, please, including using the super-size option .Returns are OK if we made a major error in our description. We are certainly able to make a mistake and when we do we usually pay for the return shipping. Please keep in mind that although we rarely offer partial refunds we do when its the appropriate solution. If you are disappointed with any aspect of our transaction please politely let us know.
