Any Modern Versions Of The Autograph?

[eharriett]

I am doing more studying on the Sheaffer thin line of pens (TM, Snorkel), and a thought crossed my mind when I was learning about Sheaffer's Snorkel autograph I wanted to ask you all about.

 

So I read that the feature with the Autograph was that once you bought the pen, you could sign your name on a slip, send the slip to the factory, and Sheaffer would etch your signature into the band that would go on the pen to make it uniquely yours.

 

I think that is classy.

 

Any other pen manufacturers do that with their pens? And are there any vendors that can replicate that today, if I wanted my own signature on a vintage Snorkel autograph?

Maybe?

Don't think so. I think it is going to be a trip to a jeweler.

Yes, you can have your signatures engraved but as been said above would have to be done by a pro rather than by the factory.

If you haven't read the story of Sheaffer's "honest forgers" as told by Jim Mamoulides I recommend it to you. The forgers' tale is near the bottom, but the entire article is well worth your time.
