I am posting this for Larry (Penturner), since he has no way of posting pictures from work...

Larry just picked up this very sweet Lady Skripsert Pen and Pencil set...

He says there is not a mark on it and it is spotlessly clean....

 

I am not sure what design this one is, but the color is definately periwinkle...

 

Could anyone give us an idea what this set might be worth....

Larry has not told me what he paid... He knows I will blackmail him by telling his wife :rolleyes: :rolleyes: I do know that he almost passed on this set because he thought the nib had been bent from abuse....

Some idiot told him it wasn't :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:

Hi,

 

Nice set, but the nib is turned upward--correct for this type of Sheaffer--Nice touch. :)

 

Shall we say it was about $60? Don't count on me, but I believe that it should be a rough estimate. :)

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

This is Lady Sheaffer Skripsert model VI Paisley Periwinkle which sold in 1960 for $10.00 as a pen and probably around $15 as a set.

 

As for the nib, this is the way it comes. It is common in a number of Sheaffer models and gives a larger sweet spot.

 

These pens can be found for relatively low prices because most often the sensitive enamel flakes off especially at the ends of the pen. This particular model on e-bay goes for $20-$50 depending on condition and whether there is a box or not. This model is of the "lower line" of Ladies :) The higher end models command higher prices. The most expensive Lady Sheaffer Skripsert was sold for $110 (model CX Matelasse) which was more than 4 times the price of the Pen for Men (PFM). Ladies can be expensive ;) It is a rather scarse pen and I would love to buy one if anyone has it available...

Dillon,

As Tom implied, I actually passed on this set yesterday because I thought the nib was trashed. then I described it to Tom and when he started to hyperventillate, I knew I had made a mistake. :doh:

So when I went back to get the set, therer was a 25% off sale going on :D Sometimes we all get lucky :D

This particular set is absolutely cherry. the pencil has what appears to be the original eraser; it is unused, and the same periwinkle blue as the pen. Unfortunately, there was no original packaging. How does this affect the value of the set. Was the $50-$60.00 price quoted above for the pen only or the set?

Thanks for all the information.

A $60 price set with the box in pristine condition would be possible (perhaps a bit high).

You can find them on e-bay for less but with some risk for undisclosed blemishes.

There are no precise prices. I got one of them (sans pencil) from a pen show for $20.

Can you name some of the Lady Sheaffer's that are on the higher end?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
