Can't believe I just got this on a lowball ebay bid, but I did. Looks like a 34-35 by the clip, but I can't find any info on the 325 on the nib. Help oh wise ones!

3-25 nibs first came on flat tops in 1928. It simply meant a $3 pen with a 25 year gaurantee. Now by the time balances were using these nibs they cost $3.25 causing some confusion if you don't know the original intent (which would rapidly disappear). The nib very soon just became a #3 dropping the 25 year gaurantee part.
