Sheaffer Clip Inquiry

[everonnob]

Please overlook if I have placed this inquiry in the wrong place. I haven't been on in a while and have forgotten some stuff. I bought boxful of ballpoint pens, among them were some Sheaffer advertising pens with the name on the clips. However, there where three or four that had a "S" only on the clip (one of them also had what looked like Sheaffer's white dot on the top). I was wondering can anyone tell me if they are Sheaffers. Also does anyone know where I could find a cap only to a touchdown triumph, 4.5 in long piston filled Sheaffer?

Again I apologize if this is not the right place to put this. If not, suggestions would of course be appreciated. Thank you.

These are of course all Sheaffer. in the top pic, the first six pens from the left are the clips that click back and forth to extend and retract the ink cartridge (I don't know the proper name for them). In the second pic, the black one on the left has a white dot on the top on the clicker, and has the 'S' on the clip as do all the others (except they do not have the white dot.) The third pic has the Sheaffer name on them but three of them also has the 's' on the end of the name. I do not know if this makes a difference in collectability of worth (if any) or not. The last is a think is a touchdown triumph (I may be wrong on this). Thank you in advance for your time.

Sheaffer ballpoint pens that you press the clip to advance the cartridge had a few names including Reminder Clip (c1960) and Safeguard clip (c1962-1964), and ballpoint pens with that clip design were made through the late 1990s.

We need lots more information. I don't know of a piston filled Sheaffer pen. Can you post a picture of the pen and if possible what you mean by "piston filled"?

Thanks everyone for the info for far!

the last picture of the pen laying on the desk is the one that I'm referring to that I need a cap for. 'Piston Filled' is probably not even the correct term. I was meaning to draw ink into the pen, the bottom of the barrel unscrews and then I pull it out as the ink is sucked in through the nib (which does say "Sheaffer's" on it with the number 0751199, 14K) The same pen can be seen third from left in last pic. thanks for any help

Okay. Is there a wide tube or thin rod? In either case it fills on the down-stroke, when the rod is pushed in. It is either a vac fil or a touchdown fil. The former simply fills the body while the later will have a sac.

That desk base is too late to be anything than a touchdown filler.

​Here is my pen that I am trying to locate a cap for. I think in regards to the question (if I'm understanding it right) if it is a wide tube or not, to me it looks as if it is.

Sir, I believe your right! I googled Sheaffer Touchdown filler and the 'triumph' looks just like this pen. Thanks

[everonnob]

on one more note, I am eager to know if anyone knows whether or not the pens in the second and fourth pic. (the black ballpoint with the white dot on its cap and an 'S' on the clip) are Sheaffers Thanks
