Sheaffer "dolphin" Photo Thread C. 1962-1964

Hi, Folks!

 

This is a Sheaffer 500 Black fountain pen c. 1962-1964. It's a 5 3/8 inches long cartridge fill fountain pen that introduces a new look to the line of Imperial type pens with its integral diamond shaped stainless steel point and diamond shaped inlay in the color match section. The pen fills by unscrewing the section and dropping in a Sheaffer Skrip ink cartidge that is punctured when the section is then screwed back on. The chrome plated clip has SHEAFFER'S stamped on the face. The cap is brushed stainless steel and the barrel is molded plastic in solid colors including Black, Burgundy, Grey, Blue, and Green. Note the chalk marks and paper band on the barrel. The fountain pen was $5.00, the matching pencil was $3.95, and the matching Safeguard ballpoint pen was $2.95.

Hi, Folks!

This is a Sheaffer 1000 Green fountain pen c. 1962-1964. The 1000 model is a 5 3/8 inches long cartridge fill fountain pen that introduces a new look to the line of Imperial type pens with its integral 14 karat gold diamond shaped point and gold plated diamond shaped inlay in the color match section. The pen fills by unscrewing the section and dropping in a Sheaffer Skrip ink cartidge that is punctured when the section is then screwed back on. This example is not a documented model as the 1000 was advertised only as a cartridge pen, and appears to have the barrel and section swapped from a Touchdown filling 800 model to create this "Touchdown version" of the 1000, a very easy change to make and accounts for a number of "new" Sheaffer models that probably were not catalogued or sold that way. The gold plated clip has SHEAFFER'S stamped on the face. The cap is gold plated with a repeating group of lines pattern similar to the PFM V. The barrel is molded plastic in solid colors including Black, Burgundy, Grey, Blue, and Green. Note the SHEAFFER'S imprint on the barrel. The fountain pen was $10.00 and the matching pencil was $6.00.

I have this model with gold plated cap in black, with pencil. They cost $10 on ebay about a year ago. This is one of the smoothest pens I have had. I use it with a push button converter.
