J.G. Rider Giant Eyedropper Fountain Pen

The J.G. Rider company was founded in 1905 and disappeared twenty years later. He made special eyedropper pens with a special clip on the cap that could be used to hook the feed out of the pen, allowing you to fill it with an eyedropper. The pen is in superb condition and its original fine nib, writes very well.
This pen was most probably made in 1910!
