COMMENTS: This offering is for a very early Sheaffer fountain pen model made of black chased hard rubber. Nickel trim. Sheaffer invented the lever filler mechanism around 1915 and pens made in the second half of the 1910s featured this very revolutionary filling mechanism, only for other pen manufacturers, such as Waterman, Conklin, Wahl and others to figure out how to get around the Sheaffer patent to offer a somehow similar lever filling mechanism. Clipped cap version. Fitted with a 14k Sheaffer #2 wet noodle nib that writes a fine to double broad line (borderline with a triple broad line). Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. The color of the black rubber is very nice, specially for its age. Some brassing on the nickel trim. Lever filler. Serviced. New sac. Made in USA in the 1910s.

COMMENTS: This is a very early Sheaffer fountain pen model in black chased hard rubber with nickel plated trim. This is a sample of some of the very first Sheaffer made pens, using their revolutionary and newly patented lever filling mechanism at the time. By then, most fountain pen came as eyedroppers, safety pens, and button fillers made by Parker. Fitted with a 14K Sheaffer Self-Filling #2 wet noodle nib that writes a broad to triple broad line (border line with monster quadruple broad lines). Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. Nib is graded at a 10 in my responsiveness scale from zero to 10. This nib has very rounded iridium tipping, making it an ideal nib to an over writer ... this is a fantastic and very desirable wet noodle nib. The nickel trim has some tarnish. The black rubber exterior has some minor discoloration. Otherwise, this is a very clean pen. Lever filler mechanism. New sac. Made in USA in the mid 1910s.

COMMENTS: Sheaffer Flat-Top fountain pen in Jade Green celluloid and gold trim. White dot in the flat end of the cap, indicating lifetime warranty. These early Sheaffer flat-tops models are the first fountain pens to have been offered and made out of celluloid material. Up until them, all other fountain pens were made of hard rubber or with metal finishes. The Sheaffer Pen Company was very innovative and creative both in terms of shapes, materials and filling mechanisms, not to mention the very high quality of their pens and nibs. Fitted with a 14K Sheaffer Lifetime nib that writes a fine line. Firm and very smooth nib with a serial number stamped on its body. The jade green celluloid is perhaps one of the celluloid colors more prone to discoloration. This pen has some discoloration, but is considered moderate for this particular color. Great imprints on the barrel and a great looking pen. Minor brassing in the trim. Pen measures 4 3/8" long (capped) and 5 5/8" (posted). Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in 1920s.
