Big Ben Model 40 - Black (SB 739)

Nib: Medium 14 Kt

This is a larger sized Big Ben button filler from Denmark. Big Bens were produced by the Benzon Trading Company of Copenhagen, which apparently began to make pens in the 1930s after import restrictions limited their supply of Wahl-Eversharp pens. Prior to 1933, importing pens had been their primary business. It's a well made, longer sized pen. Not heavy. Button filler. Some brassing to the end buttons and mild corrosion of the clip. The nib is a 14 Kt medium. 5 5/16", 134 mm.
