Product Description
Type Compact fountain pen
Product Name Compact I Cartridge Pen. Check out Pen Hero's detective work about the model. With chalk mark that says "Comp I, X-FINE, $5"
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in U.S.A. -- 1960-64. The earliest models briefly featured a "Visulated" barrel with multiple rectangular clear windows, so the lack of them indicates this is the second version.
Length Just over 4-3/4"
Filling System The fountain pen takes Sheaffer-style cartridges. Squeeze and piston converters are too long to fit in the pen. We will include a fresh cartridge.
Color Burgundy with steel plated trim. The cap is squared and the barrel is rounded. 3/8" band and short clip. The barrel has the original price sticker.
Nib EXTRA FINE Sheaffer inlaid steel nib. The Compact series of pens all have the "V" shaped inlay nibs.
Condition Near mint condition with the original price chalk mark on the barrel. No cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The area below the feed on the section has some scratch marks most likely caused during the production process. The cap has a few marks picked up in storage. The cap band is excellent. The imprint is clear.
