Please Help Me Identify This Sheaffer (Sheaffer's?)

Recommended Posts

Hello FPN friends,

 

I recently obtained this lovely Sheaffer pen in a trade with a redditor. I don't know what it is, or how old it is, and I was hoping one of you experts could help me ID my new friend. It is an eyedropper fill, if that makes a difference, but I am not certain it was originally an eyedropper.

 

Here are some photos, not the best quality, sorry! I'm not great at photographing pens. https://www.flickr.com/gp/k8seren/9iyG6n/

 

Thanks for reading! :)

Unless the previous owner has done something ill-advised, it should still be up to cartridges.

Thank you for the info and the very cool advert - I love seeing the old FP ads. It's an eyedropper for now as I don't have a converter for it. Is that bad for the pen? It works well as an eyedropper and doesn't leak. Just not sure about the interaction between ink and old plastic. Thanks again!

I've got something with a less interesting point ED'ed right now, and has been for a couple of months. No harm to the pen, and as long as you wax or grease the threads, no harm elsewhere.

 

edit to add: a couple of months with refillings along the way; it's not just sitting there. I don't want to encourage poor pen hygiene.

Thank you for the information! An interesting pen that I liked simply for the color. Enjoying it all the more now - writes wonderfully!

      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
