Help with identifying some Pens??

[InkNsap]

Hi guys I have been helping a co-worker catalogue some of her mother’s pen collection and I have managed to organised them by make but little else, I can easily see nib sizes and filling mechanisms which has helped me. But I was wondering if anyone knows what these are and the year perhaps? I’d be very grateful. 
I was also wondering if you know of any online catalogues for Sheaffers, I found one for Parker that was very helpful.

I can try to provide better quality pictures as well as individual pictures. I just need to figure out how 🥲

A lot of those are Sheaffer Targas

She sure liked her Sheaffers!  Can't help you much regarding identification other than to agree about the site Sheaffertarga.com, though some looked like pens from the "fashion'' range, but regarding photos....... Put the pens on a plain, neutral background (mid-grey works well), if possible use natural diffused day-light to avoid glare and don't put too many pens in one shot.  Best of luck.

So what's the purpose of the catalog? Just an exercise or .....?

 

I see a lot of Targa, Fashion, TRZ, Agio. Lady Sheaffer 904. One of those ballpoints is a Sentinel.  A lot of ballpoints, and while some of the Targas are hard to find, they are not very valuable.

 

The majority are 1970s-90s.

Thank you! 
I suggested it so she would know what she has in the collection (over +100) but we work in a library so I am turning this into a mini project for an online exhibition of fountain pen evolution (she has some from 1920’s) and an encouragement for bringing handwriting back to our patrons. She will probably sell most of them at some point after lockdown but I thought it was a good opportunity to highlight fountain pens in our library social media. Thank you so much for your input, we used that targa website and pictures to identify them and it matches what you have said!

Well done! That sounds like a very worthy project. I suspect I'm not the only one who'd like to see those older pens.  That's a sweet little Sheaffer Petite Balance at the top of the last photo, so bring on the oldies!

Thank you! ☺️
Isn’t delightful? She has a couple of cute little oldies that her mum probably got in antique shops. I’ll make sure to post my selection for the social media post!

A noble project!

 

Please let me know if I can help ..... we have most of the Sheaffer models identified on our website.
