Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in U.S.A. -- 1960-64
Length Just over Both pen and pencil measure 4-3/4"
Filling System The fountain pen takes Sheaffer-style cartridges. Squeeze and piston converters are too long to fit in the pen. The pencil takes 0.9mm leads and uses a twist mechanism. There is an eraser beneath the cap. The pencil is full of leads. An unused black Sheaffer cartridge is included.
Color Black with gold plated trim. The caps are squared and the barrels are rounded. Both pieces have 3/8" bands and short clips. This is a white dot model. The fountain pen has a "visulated" viewing window area.
Nib FINE Sheaffer inlaid 14k nib is smooth with nice tipping material. The nib is unmarked but in comparison to other inlaid nibs, it looks like a fine. This is one of the "V" shaped inlay nibs.
Condition Near Mint condition. No scratches or dents. Everything works well and looks great. The set ships in an era-appropriate Sheaffer box with paperwork and cartridge.
