It is an anachronism. It belongs to the era before computers. It is a fountain pen made by Parker. The body is gray-green with a silver top and a clip in a faded gold tone. If you look on the base you can barely see the engraved name of "Jack Wilson." The pen is so old it doesn't take cartridges. You fill it from a bottle of ink. This pen is a part of history. It belonged to my Dad.
