DIP275 DIP275
SOUVENIR WASHINGTON DC DIP PEN - Aluminum dip pen made in the shape of a feather quill has handpainted flowers and Washington D.C. lettered on the quill section. Overall length, not including nib is 9.25 inches. I've fitted this pen with a "U-Tri-Me" Brooklyn USA nib, but made in England. Silver coated nib has a very flexible fine point and looks quite nice on this pen, too. Souvenir dip pens were popular tourist items, this one being made of aluminum would have been a very expensive dip pen in it's day. Aluminum is common today, but was a scarce metal and highly prized in the early 1900s. There are a few flecks of paint missing, but overall in very good shape, especially considering how easily aluminum can be damaged.

PLEASE NOTE: New old stock antique pen nibs are finished with a very fine factory oil coating to prevent rust. It is invisible to see and rarely can it be felt, but nonetheless, it is there. Before using any of these old nibs, you must remove the factory oil coating so that ink will adhere better.

Place nibs in a pot of boiling water for about 30 seconds, remove and pat dry to prevent rust OR wipe each nib thoroughly with rubbing alcohol.



In our Pen Storage section of the website, you'll find a wide selection of vintage pen trays and holders to keep your dip pens close at hand and organized.
