Need Help With Info On Sheaffer Mechanical Pencil 14K


irienz

Recommended Posts

Hi I've attached a couple of pics and was hoping someone could give me more info please on my sheaffers pencil??



On the side of the cap it has Sheaffers made in USA Pat


(no number)



Also on the other side of the cap 14K


On the clip and top of barrel it has 14K



Im assuming this is not solid gold so is this gold plated? gold filled?


I'm assuming what I have removed is the eraser? Its black so I wasnt sure.


Are there any parts missing to this as i'm not sure how the pencil nib would stay in.


Year this was made? Any value? It looks like the clip should be sitting flat which it isnt, there is no nib and there are a few hardly noticeable dents (one on top, one where the ball on the clip should sit against the pen and a couple down the bottom). I know all these can affect value. I have seen one on etsy for $30 but it had gold filled stamped on the cap which my one doesnt.



Sorry if these questions sound silly, I love researching antiques and I cant seem to find much info


on the internet about this.





Thank you kindly in Advance.

Hi, thanks for that . I've taken the cap off and it just looks empty down the barrel and the eraser as in the photo.

Hi, lol yes I meant lead. I have done a bit more research and it seems to be a 1921-1925 bell top.

I pulled the rubber off today and a lead dropped out. I inserted it into the end and it went all the way in. Then I twisted the cap right and the lead came out and then twisted it right and it went back in. Good to know it works.

      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
