Id On Sheaffer 585

[weakankles]

I recently got into fountain pens and found one tucked away in my grandmothers jewelry box one day. Finally got around to cleaning and refilling it when I started to wonder what it was. It says Sheaffer 585 14k on the nib. White dot on clip. In my reading I saw that the white dot is a 'lifetime' pen.

 

This site is an awesome resource for those just getting into fountain pens and this is my first, but hopefully not last, post.

is the pen has broken nib......

585 means the nib is 58.5% gold which translate to 14k. Your grandma's pen is a Lady Sheaffer Clipless model 642 Silver Scalloped (http://sheaffertarga.com/Lady%20Sheaffer/642%20scalloped.html).

Also, the White Dot does not mean a Lifetime pen even though at one time it might have.

Too bad about the nib ... These stylpoint nibs are silky smooth!

Thank you so much!

 

This is really helpful. The nib is not broken, just bent out of shape. I need to get it looked at and properly cleaned.
