Tell Me About This Cheap Viceroy Pen

[Paul-in-SF]

Clearly some 3rd-level pen, lever fill, probably American. It came with a nib that said "Starpen Co. Chicago" which could easily have been a replacement. I used that nib in another pen, and switched in a Gold Bond 14K nib from a pen without a cap.

 

Anyway, all my searches on this site for "Viceroy" lead to discussions of Yard-O-Led or Visconti pens. This one, although clearly cheap, actually looks rather nice, the (I presume) celluloid colors are very vivid (rust, black and pearl marble, if it doesn't show in the photo) with a lot of what the video reviewers call "chatoyance" (sp?), i.e. depth and movement, as it rotates under the light. That's really the only reason I bought it. That and curiosity.

 

So once again I am hoping those with experience and knowledge in these kinds of pens will be able to tell me something about this one.

I am also wondering about this brand. Just restored a pen/pencil combo that is also in nice shape and has a great nib.
