Model 20 Marietta

 




While the Model 20 is one of our more sublime designs, we recommend it for the more experienced fountain pen user. Being a slip cap with a recessed nib, there are various challenges to handling this pen. Review video for some of the unique notes about this model. Model 20 Design Video



♦ Presenting the Model 20 Marietta fountain pen- a slip cap fountain pen that harkens back to the aesthetic of classic fountain pens of yesteryear. Market price starting at $155 USD. Nibs start at $25 USD. 

♦ Precision machining and design create a cap that securely and firmly fits to the section and barrel with a firm grip. When capped or posted properly it is impossible to sling the cap off, so can be securely used in a shirt pocket or pen pouch. 

♦ No exterior threads and no shoulder from grip section to barrel. 

♦ The pressure is distributed inside the cap and away from the lip to prevent lip cracking. 

♦ The interior of the cap has a feature that releases air pressure to eliminate the vacuum that causes ink spurts on the nib when uncapping. 

♦ Filled 3 ways, via disposable cartridge, piston converter, or the eye dropper method. Barrel holds approximately 3.5ml of ink when eyedroppered.

♦ #6 Size nib - with many tip options in factory or custom ground. 

♦ Lifetime warranty,  converter, sample cartridges, and a 30 day money back guarantee are all included. Made in USA. 

♦ In lieu of a traditional gift box we now ship with a one pen zippered pouch with an outer white thin box. 
 
♦ Dimensions:  
5.0" from nib tip to barrel end = 127mm
5.45" capped length = 138.43mm
5.88" cap posted length from nib tip to cap top = 150mm
2.175" cap = 55.25mm
.575" cap diameter = 14.61mm
.51" barrel diameter = 12.95mm
.41" smallest diameter of grip section = 10.41mm 

♦ Weight with converter inserted but not ink is: .68oz or 19.28 grams. 

Note that our fountain pens are sold a la carte - so the price listed is just for the pen, and nibs start at $25.
