Product Description
Type Fountain pen and pencil set in good working order.
Product Name (Balance) Junior
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA - later 1930s
Length Both pen and pencil are 4-13/16" in length.
Filling System Lever filler, restored with a new sac and working perfectly. The pencil takes 1.1mm (or "thick") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. We'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Pinkish striated color known as Rose Glow with chrome or nickel plated trim.
Nib FLEXIBLE MEDIUM 14k "Junior" nib is one of the few Sheaffer nibs from this era with any real flex to it. It's not full flex, but very good every day flex and a bit better than semi-flex. See our writing sample below.
Condition Very nice condition despite a few cracks in the cap. There's one which goes from the cap lip to the band. Another crack runs from the top of the clip to almost the top of the cap (see photos below). Take care with the cap, and refrain from posting it. There's some wear on the trim of the pen, with tiny spots of brassing showing on the cap band and the lever. The plating on the clip, and the trim on the pencil is excellent and shiny, with just some very small scratches. Light scratching on the cap and barrel of both the pen and pencil, but generally both pieces are really nice looking, and look great as a pair. Both pieces of the set are working very well, and It has been priced with the damage in mind.
