unknown Sheaffer

Recommended Posts

About five years ago, I found a Sheaffer FP in Holland I had never seen before (see attachment). It has a semi-hooded nib, a built-in aerometric filler (very similar to the fillers Parker used to have) and although the name "Sheaffer's" is still written with a genitive, the barrel bears the "s" logo that appeared in the late sixties. Moreover, there is a "S" on the section. Does anybody know what kind of Sheaffer this is?

Other question: my avatar is "Zippy", the hero of a Sheaffer comic strip that was published in episodes in some Belgian magazines in the late fifties and in the sixties (at least one album was published too). Was that character used in other countries than Belgium?

Thanks for your answers.

Hi pvh. Don't know a thing about your pen, but just wanted to welcome you to FPN. I'm sure some of our fp gurus will point you toward its identity. See ya around.

pvh,

Don't know what you have, but I seem to have the cheapie version. Mine is a mint ($2.95 price sticker still on) black C/C filler with a silver cap, flat on top. Mine does not have the S logo on the section,either, but the same nib configuration. So there are some distinct differences. The enclosed brochure gives no hint at a name, or series. Actually, the brochure seems a bit generic. Has two ink cartridges, though I doubt they are original, though they are old style. Also has the matching mechanical pencil.

Would love to know what they are also. You've got a good looking pen there!

Enjoy!

It remains a mystery, but slowly we progress. We now know there was a cartridge version and a built-in aerometric one. We also know there was at least a matching pencil.

 

Thanks a lot.

      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
