Sheaffer Id Help

[Tincansailor]

Hope you guys can help

 

I found this pen and pencil set at auction, I liked the color and design and the fact that it was a Sheaffer, so I bid on it. Well surprising to me I won! I put a new sac in it and it writes quite nicely. Surprisingly the pencil works great too. I have been trying to identify the model and year but the more I research the more confused I get. I am hoping the "experts" out there can help. Here is what I think I know:

 

Color - Marine Green
Nib - Feathertouch #5 EF
Length capped - 5"
Uncapped - approx 4-3/8"
Imprint - W.A. Sheaffer "500"

 

The nib, wireband cap, and the 500 imprint would indicate an Admiral, however the size to me is off, could be something else?
Being post-war, would it still be considered a Balance?

 

Lastly is the pencil correct for this being a set? It is "clipless", the style would almost indicate it should belong to a Tuckaway, or was it just added because of being the same material?

Please excuse the picture quality as I only have my cheap phone. It is also my first attempt to upload pictures!
Thanks much

Hello. Nice finds!

You are right: it is not a set, and, yes, the pencil is a Tuckaway model.

Craftsman, i think

I agree with Teri, the pen looks like on Craftsman.

It depends on the nib. If it has a 3 or 33 nib, its a Craftsman. If it has a #5 nib Feather Touch, its an Admiral. Since the nib is two tone, it should be a #5 Feather Touch, so its an Admiral. Since its the striped celluloid, and not a solid color Forticel, its date would be pre 1947.

 

The pencil was part of a war time Triumph Tuckaway set.

Thanks Guys

 

Tend to agree with Ron, as it does have the Feathertouch nib and the "500" imprint instead of the "350" that the Craftsman would have. Very interesting on the pre-1947 date. It's to bad about the pencil not being part of the set, but it is a nice piece non the less.

Yes, it was my mistake. I missed that the pen has nib #5.
