Product Description

Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA – late 1920s/early 1930s

Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black chased hard rubber with gold plated trim. Stepped pattern on barrel and cap. 1/4" cap band.
Nib EXTRA FINE Sheaffer's 3 gold nib.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The stepped patter chasing is intact and there aren't any scratches in sight. The color on the cap and barrel has faded to a dull black (as opposed to the shiny black that can be seen on the section). The cap band is nice and shiny; there is a splotch of pitting on the lower edge. The ring-top hardware looks great. The imprint is clear.
