What's the model name from David's collection with those swirly sub-atomic particles flying around in the trapped capsule that is the pen section? :notworthy1:

 

Hi,

Do you mean this one?

A man's real possession is his memory. In nothing else is he rich, in nothing else is he poor.

Hmmm, Sheaffer that makes me swoon?

 

OS - check

Carmine - check

Balance - check

Lever-fill - check

Triumph nib - check

 

Tried to get one this week end, didn't have a chance as it turned out, went for nearly three times as much as I was willing to spend at the time. It would have made a great B-day gift for myself. Oh well, better luck next time.

My one contribution to hobby knowledge.

 

I found the ad that for the first time gave name to the pattern.

 

The plastic was described as LAHN by Sheaffer. Three colors available, all with the gold tone threads deep in the clear plastic. Found with Univer, Vacuum and other sub-brand Sheaffer imprints.

regards

david

Whoa, considering the panoply of heavyweights posting ahead of me --I'm suprised one of these hasn't already appeared! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

I know these are uncommon to find, perhaps even R***? I know I certainly enjoy owning this example!

The Sterling Crest no doubt is swoon worthy. I've never owned one, though I've handled a couple. And, i had the chance to shoot this set.

Here is my one contribution. I showed it to the folks at the local pen meeting. There was no swooning, several compliments; one member tried to steal the pen:

 

Sheaffer Balance Radite green red-veined

Although I'd probably trade this pen for one of Roger W's Radite 8Cs.

Very nice indeed and definitely qualify as RARE.

Yours looks to be in nice shape is it the full size version?

I have a user grade full sized example (a few dents and dings in the sterling cap - see below).

I'd love to find a better one or get mine "de-dinged".

 

I keep asking the Mr Kirchheimer to tackle mine but he hasn't mastered the technique with these yet. In time, I am sure he will...

Yup it is a full size. It also has a couple micro dings in the cap but charming none the less.

I just have a couple, but you hit it, the OS Balance is super. I also have a weakness for PFM. Damn, this is like trying to answer if I like strawberry or chocolate ice cream best. Do I really have to choose?

 

BTW - I cordially extend my infinite jealousy over that Balance collection.

What's so funny about Peace, Love, and Understanding?

There have been many swoon-worthy pens posted in this thread and I congratulate you all on your beautiful Sheaffers, especially those OS Balances. This is one Sheaffer that, for me, is very swoon-worthy, my blue PFM IV.

 

Jonro, in that first photo, is your PFM inlaid nib leaking! My jaw has hit the floor! I thought this was just a Targa problem. Is nothing sacred!?

      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
