This pen was in a case of smalls at an indoor flea market and priced at $6.50. It's made by Towle Silversmiths and was designed as a pen to assist on the old rotary dial phones. It's not worth a great deal and they've sold in poor condition as little as 12 bucks and up to maybe 40 bucks. Some are listed higher, but they don't seem to be selling over 50 bucks. I thought it was kinda cool and maybe it'll be best to list it in two categories such as vintage pen's and vintage telephone's? I believe it's from around the early 1950s and is definitely the Streamline design of the era.

I actually just got one of those from an estate sale last week. They had a mug full of vintage pens and pencils for $10. I had seen as well that it didn't sell as well as I thought it would.
 
Nice pen find! :icon_thumleft:
 
I think it's an awesome looking pen. Is it a refillable ball point? I'm interested if it's a usable pen. PM me if you want to sell it.
 
That’s a nice find!
