What to Look For
Straight-cap eyedropper with #3 nib. Rarer than the cone-cap equivalents. The single digit IS the nib size. Not to be confused with the celluloid-era Model 3 lever filler (1927-33), which is a completely different pen. In the pre-1917 numbering system, the absence of a digit in the tens place indicated a straight-cap eyedropper.
