While my search to look for a Snorkel Demonstrator I found this pen on eBay

http://cgi.ebay.com/Sheaffer-TD-Nib-Snorke...p3286.m14.l1318

I wonder is the cap taken from a regular pen or did it came with this Demonstrator.

By the way does anyone wants to sell there Snorkel Demo ? wink.gif

That cap came from a Sentinel or a Clipper. Demonstrators rolled out of Fort Madison with clear-plastic Valiant/Statesman caps:



The black area is where the inner cap is glued in; that wouldn't look pretty, so Sheaffer painted the inside of the cap. smile.gif

I thought so but wanted to be sure.
Well I guess I will continue my quest then to look for the Snorkel Demonstrator.

Good luck, goodguy - I love Snorkels, but the demonstrators are just too hard to find in decent condition!
