I recently acquired my first Sheaffer pen ever: A 1949 Sentinel Tuckaway.

 

What a delightful little pen! :)

Lovely!

Baptiste knew how to make a short job long

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

Lovely!

 

Thanks!

 

The photos don't really do it justice, for an item that was produced in the 1940's the nib is in perfect condition!

 

At that time Sheaffer made really great pens that were way ahead of their time!

Nice pen. I am a big fan of the triumph nib and the touchdown filling system. Congratulations on such a nice pen.

I love the TD fillers, especially the Tuckys. Your Persian Blue example would have to be at the top of my list.

 

And what beautiful, perfectly exposed closeups!

Vintage Sheaffers were, (and still are), kicking @$$!!!

 

If you are willing to empty your wallet jus' a little bit more, I'd highly recommend a Sheaffer School Pen.

 

They write real nicely.

 

The write Sheaffer - "ery".

 

No more ramblin', (for the moment.)

 

Nice pen, Al.

You do have a beautiful pen. I am extremely fond of the Persian blue color. Yes, the cap is just beautiful and stunning. You will love how the conical nib performs.

 

Years and years ago, I had a burgundy Touchdown Tuck-away with a nib like yours and still wish I had it.

 

Just make sure you clip all the way if you use your shirt pocket.

 

What a nice and beautiful pen you have!

      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
