I got this pen from Gary Lehrer because I love Conway Stewart Cracked Ice, which is the greatest of the cracked ice patterns in my opinion. But it is a little out of my collecting area, which is German and Italian pens, so I am letting it go. The set is from 1951. Conway Stewart 24 in Cracked Ice. The pen is a lever filler. Gold filled trim. Gary described this as a medium, italic nib, new-old-stock, mint in box. I think I dipped the pen to see how it wrote when I first got it but have not used it or filled it. The pen comes with the twist-activated No. 18 pencil. Price for the set is $500 shipped in USA. I will not break up the set.
