Jack Kerouac's personally-owned and -used fountain pen, measuring 4.75˝ long, featuring a green marbled plastic barrel with matching cap. The rear of the barrel unscrews to allow access to the ink reservoir inside. The nib is engraved "Silver Palladium Alloy, U.S.," with no maker indicated; popular pen makers such as Wearever, Esterbrook, and Everfeed, among other manufacturers, produced pens in this style, using this type of nib. The top of the pen cap, which presumably carried a pen clip emblazoned with the maker's name, is missing.
Accompanied by a letter of provenance signed by John Shen-Sampas, the executor of the estate of Jack Kerouac; Shen-Sampas is the son of John Sampas, who was Kerouac’s brother-in-law and literary executor.
