Houston matchstick filler

Mechanically, the Houston Fountain Pen Co matchstick filler is a relatively standard matchstick filling fountain pen. However, the matchstick is cleverly stored in the end of the long tapered barrel. Another nice feature is that the stick is threaded to securely attach to the pressure bar for filling.
