Help Me Identify This Pen

[Ichase22]

I have no knowledge about pens. Could anyone tell me anything about it? See pictures.

[mitto]

A solid 14k gold pen? Don't know about the model and age of the pen, though.

 

Are the cap and clip also marked 14k?

[FarmBoy]

Sheaffer Stratowriter

[Ichase22]

Value?

[Chrissy]

If it's gold weigh just the gold and that's the value.

Is the pen gold filled or solid 14K?

It just says "14k". Which would leave me to believe it is solid gold and not filled. But I can't find very much about it. I did find that the early versions of this pen were filled and the later ones were solid. But I could find what markings the filled one had.

Critical to the value if the weight is the factor of course.

[mitto]

I can see the '14k' marking on the barrel.

[BT_Summers]

The marking is plain to see, does this mean plated or solid?

[FarmBoy]

Solid.

There is a metal liner and the mechanism is not gold.

May you read the first reply to your opening post. I said solid 14k gold. And now FarmBoy has stamped and sealed that verdict.

 

Prepare for the celibrations.

Not the most tactful person in the world are you?

 

The first reply, yours, said

The use of the question mark suggested doubt. And you also said that you did not know the age and model of the pen.

 

Always the same, confrontation controntation.

 

Perhaps you think that adding makes acidic remarks and positioning more acceptable.

[mitto]

I would neglect the unnecessary anger shown in your post.

 

Yes, I did put the question mark because I was waiting for the OP to reply about the marking on the cap and clip. But everyone familiar with pen marking knows that '14k' marking means solid gold and not gold filled or gold plated. For the gold filled the marking would be '12k GF/'14k GF' etc. While the gold plating may or may not be mentioned. Sometimes the gold filling mention is also omitted while the pen actually may be a gold filled one like for example the caps of PFM-V, Sheaffer Imperial Triumph and Sheaffer Triumph Snorkel and some others.

 

Sorry that you took my post for confrontation. Rest assured that was not my intention. Even then, accept my apologies.

So can I. In fact I think it also says '14' on the upper part but the 'k' has worn off.

 

If it has a liner inside then obviously that would need to be removed before the gold weight could be established. But the gold weight is probably going to be the best value.

If it wasn't gold then it would say GF or rolled gold as well

You seem to have good eyesight. Mine is weak. I agree with what you said about the value of the pen.

[gregamckinney]

I don't know what the gold value would be, but solid gold Stratowriters are pretty uncommon (while GF ones are relatively easy to find.)

I wouldn't necessarily scrap the pen immediately. You might want to try selling it here or on ebay to see if a collector cares more for it intact than as scrap (once you know what the scrap value would be.)
