Product Description
Type Snorkel filling fountain pen and mechanical pencil set, restored and working well.
Product Name Snorkel Clipper.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- 1955-9.
Length the pen is just a hair over 5-1/2 inches, the pencil is 5 inches..
Filling System Snorkel filling pen, which we've fully restored with a new sac, O-ring and point gasket. We'll include instructions. The pencil takes 0.9mm (or "thin") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. We'll include a small packet of leads.
Color Pastel blue barrels with stainless steel caps in a pattern of stepped lines, with gold plated trim. The color is slightly more subdued than it appears in our photos.
Nib FINE single tone PdAg (palladium silver) Triumph nib is un-marked. It's smooth and firm with nice tipping material and a little upturn toward the tip of the nib.
Condition Excellent condition. No chips, dings, or dents. There are some light scratches on the caps and barrels of both pieces, and a tiny hint of plating wear on the tip of the pen's clip. The pencil shows a tiny cosmetic crack (it doesn't affect the pencil's function) near its cone, but the pen is free of cracks. The imprints are worn but readable. The pen has been fully restored, and both pieces are working very well.
The pen is engraved with the name "Dona Wedding" in gold letters on its barrel (see photos).
