What Sheaffer is this?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys n gals, i picked up a couple of Sheaffers but I’m having trouble identifying which model they are. This one has the fingernail nib of a Lady Sheaffer but is gold plated steel(?), engraved simply ‘Sheaffer’, and the barrel is way too plain, simple black plastic. Also, is the clip too long for a Lady? The cap fits beautifully to the barrel, very smooth transition. The pen is also a cartridge filler, i added the converter as it came with a nice crusty cartridge 😆

 

I don’t normally venture to Sheaffer, but as this one is such a nice writer i might have to dip in a bit more 🤭

 

Any and all help is gratefully received.

Thank you all in advance.

Nice pen! If you are researching online, be sure to spell the name Sheaffer in order to increase your search results.

The pen was made in several finishes but it was called "LADY" Sheaffer line..maybe your is 900's series..etc. It is cartridge and converter filler. Regards.

Cool, thanks, will get to searching.

 

I take it there are no comprehensive catalogues out there?

These Sheaffer models can be difficult to identify because they came with different nibs (two-way, short conical or fingernail) and because design features of different models overlapped.

 

I think that your pen might be a Sheaffer Stylist 214G. A similar pen in blue and with model name chalk-marked on barrel is shown in this closed auction:

The cap with longer clip suggests to me that this pen is late 1960s early 1970s. In the early 1970s, the clip on Sheaffer caps became shorter.

I have no idea how you found that, but thank you so much. It is virtually identical! You are a star! 😘

      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
