DescriptionThis pen is all gold with signs of wear throughout. The bottom has some ribbed detailing running around the pen. Right above that, there is a small gold hoop hanging off the end of the pen. The end of the pen is proportionately more discolored than the rest of the pen. Right at the bottom of the main body is a line of text which runs around the pen. In the middle of the pen there is a line of engraved text that reads "MYRTLE C. BLISS." The top of the pen is very narrow and there is a line of wear near the top, which suggests that a cap was frequently placed atop the pen.On View
