Product Description
Type Snorkel fountain pen and mechanical pencil set in original box.
Product Name Admiral Snorkel
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA -- 1952-9
Length Pen is just under 5-5/8", pencil is 5-1/16"
Filling System Snorkel filler. We've fully restored the system with a new sac, point gasket, and O-ring. It's working perfectly, and we'll include instructions on how to use it. The pencil takes 0.9mm (or "thin") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism, which is working well. We'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Pastel blue with gold plated trim, 1/4" cap band.
Nib Medium-broad 14k nib. It is in great condition. It's not marked, but it looks wider than medium.
Condition Superior condition, in box, with original tag. No cracks or chips on either the pen or pencil. The fountain pen has a small scratch on the barrel, about 1/2 inch from the section and the cap band has two tiny dings. Otherwise, the fountain pen is in perfect condition. The mechanical pencil is perfect. The clamshell "snorkel" box has some blue paper stuck to the top of it and it is scratches and embedded grime, but it functions fine. The imprints on both the pen and pencil are nice and clear.
