Love is in the air, literally!

Been a while since I've drawn something wholesome of these two, weirdly. Who needs cutsie cuddly fun when you can have ANGST!!! ...Ahem.

This is an Eclipse Hooded Knight in green c. late 1940s. This was Eclipse Canada's response to the Parker 51 and has a similar clip design as the Eclipse Streamline model, which itself may borrow from the Eversharp Skyline clip. Note the feathered design clip and the 3/8 inch wide cap band. The hooded nib is actually an ordinary open nib hidden under an extension of the section that has a V cutout for the breather hole. The 5 3/16 inch long Hooded Knight is a button filler, activated by removing the blind cap from the end of the barrel. The pen is made of injection molded plastic and gray, blue, green, black and burgundy examples exist. The barrel imprint reads HOODED KNIGHT over MADE IN CANADA BY ECLIPSE. The section has an imprint indicating USA, Canada and Great Britain patents. The very firm nib has no hallmarks and is probably gold plated stainless steel. #pencollecting #fountainpen #eclipse #hoodedknight #canada #parker51 #parkerpen #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/CWEwqFHPB-3/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is an Eclipse Hooded Knight fountain pen and pencil set in dark navy blue c. late 1940s. This was Eclipse Canada's response to the Parker 51 and has the same clip design as the Eclipse Streamline model, which itself may borrow from the Eversharp Skyline clip. The hooded nib is actually an ordinary open nib hidden under an extension of the section that has a V cutout for the breather hole. On earlier pens the section will have an imprint indicating USA, Canada and Great Britain patents and the barrel may have an imprint. The 5 5/16 inch long Hooded Knight is a button filler, activated by removing the blind cap from the end of the barrel. The Hooded Knight is made of injection molded plastic and can be found in gray, blue, navy blue, red, black and burgundy. This example has no barrel imprint. The very firm nib is gold plated stainless steel. #pencollecting #fountainpen #eclipse #hoodedknight #streamline #penhero https://www.instagram.com/p/CKZdZONjAF3/?igshid=24n5tz7szju5
