Sheaffer Cartridge Pen

January 10, 2011

Hi All!

Some time back, I read a post which gave the date range for the different styles of Sheaffer Cartridge Pens as well as just exactly what they were called. I have searched and can't find the information (next time I save it!).

What I would like to know is the approximate date range for the cartridge pen with the bullet shaped ends, the pen with the conical shaped ends, and the pen with the flat ends. They are great pens, especially the bullet shaped end model. Wish they were back in production.

Thanks!

Probably the bullet shaped pens were made around 1954-63, then the next model around '63 'til maybe '75, then the flat ends until they went out of production in '98. I agree, great pens and some are very good writers indeed. Too bad they don't make them. They got me started with fountain pens.

I went digging through some very old boxes, and just discovered that I have 3 of these, with the conical ends and M nibs; one was a give-away pen from a restaurant I worked at. They were my everyday pens in high school (mid-to-late 60s), for class notes and for shorthand classes. They're soaking in warm water ATM.

I came over to this thread to see about ID info. Aside from calling them 'cartridge pens', is there any name for them?
