Help Me Track Down A Pen.

[chas0039]

I used some Sheaffer pens in the early 1960s and I need help with models so I can track one down. All I remember was the chrome cap and possibly a clear plastic body. They were rounded on both ends and not tapered and used the usual cartridges. I remember refilling with Skrip and an old syringe.

 

I probably bought them at a Rexall drug or Ben Franklin Five and Dime, so they would be pretty low priced at the time.

 

They show one here

But it just says $1 cartridge pen, hard to track down.

Much thanks.

Definitely a school pen. These were made in the 60's and 70's. I don't have any of them at my disposal at the moment. They would cost around $10-20 today. You can easily find them on eBay or on most Sheaffer selling stores.

… Rexall and Ben Franklin: retail from out of the past!

They also were used as advertising items. I have one that has an imprint on it from one of the businesses that was in my wife's home town when she was a child.

Thanks guys. School pen got me what I wanted. There are so many versions I missed the right one, but I got it now.

 

Never would have found it without you!

tons of these show up on eBay. Cheap too.

Thanks again. Picked up a red version for $8. I always preferred Parker over Sheaffer back then but Sheaffer kind of grows on you.

I bought one of these new. It was my first fountain pen. I was probably around 12 years old or less. Yep, I remember that it cost a dollar.
