Sheaffer Desk Pen Help Identification 14K Nib Ohio University.

Found this today in an old warehouse. It was wrapped in tissue. I think it's New Old Stock. Nib is marked 14K. I think it is a Sheaffer Trimuph. Any information would be helpful. Came with a really nice Ohio University Stand. Also looks NOS.

If it means anything, it is /not/ a Triumph /nib/ -- Triumph nibs are the cylindrical style that encloses the feed.

 

Confusingly, though, pen models using the Inlaid nib (as you have) have had the Triumph name. Given the white dot -- and presuming the label on the base went with the pen (though it doesn't have a checkmark) -- I'd be tempted to call it the Imperial option.

Name from the 1963 catalog - White Dot Imperial Desk Pen. Originally about $30 plus whatever the badge cost.

That's a very nice find, and it should be a very nice writer. I don't think it's "new old stock" though -- it should have come in a presentation case, not wrapped in paper, and it's evident from the wear pattern that the pen has spent some time in use.

      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
