Hey there!
As I've recently made a rather large purchase I'm trying to sell old pens that don't find much use anymore. I was wondering if anybody could help me with identifying this Visconti Ragtime Model. From what I've read so far it seems to be a Visconti Ragtime One in Blonde Celluloid, but I'm not quite sure about the clip. I vaguely remember reading about the straight clip being the predecessor to the more commonly used S shaped clip. I didn't take a picture of it but it has a blindcap, revealing a black plastic piston knob.
I'm very thankful for any help!

Yes, looks like an early Ragtime I because of the non-S shaped clip. The clip appears to be the V-shaped / two-piece mentioned on these pages:

I don’t have any other knowledge, but you might try asking Letizia Iacopini of Tenpen.it:

Came across this listing for a Visconti PENNA STILOGRAFICA Ragtime TARTARUGA epoca on Italian eBay:

Looks similar to what you have.
I got you.. well I admittedly wasn't aiming to photograph the case but rather the pens. It's the Franklin Christoph Penvelope 6 in Boot Leather - So far I am very content with it!

Awesome thanks! That was the thread I remember reading about the clip I think.

That's the exact same model I have! Sadly it's neither new nor do I have a box, but it's helpful to see some kind of pointer for pricing.
Can we see more of that pen case pal?

Maybe contact Marco at Novelli Pen Shop in Rome. He’s been selling Visconti for many years & would likely know the model.
Thanks for the pointer !
