My First Success at Restoring
My First Success at Restoring
@DadFather @penfount I have a very similar pen! It is a Moore (based in Boston MA) and the estimated date is also the 1920s. It is an eyedropper (no rubber sac) and there is no hole in the cap.
When I bought it, the nib was too sharp and tore up paper. I buffed it out on the bottom of a coffee mug and it works great (though it’s a bit of a gusher). I put a daub of silicon grease on the threads and the ink inside is currently three or four years old and still wet.

Holes in caps were made to equalize air pressure in pens with latex sacs. Otherwise all the ink in the sac would end up in the cap once you start to remove it. Eyedropper pens do not need that and that is why yours doesn't have it. Beautiful pen!
