Early Arnold Black with Cream and Blue Streaks Fountain Pens c. 1935-1939

My pursuit of more nice examples of Arnold ‘A’ clip fountain pens turned up this eye-catching celluloid on a slender pen with two cap bands. It’s all black with cream and blue streaks in a loose spiral pattern around the cap and barrel. Like meteors streaking across a dark night sky. The effect is as if cream and blue color was dripped on a spinning black background. It's not a color I've seen on any other pen brand. But it does appear on at least one other Arnold type.
