Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen and mechanical pencil set in original box.
Product Name Cartridge pen with "Stylpoint" style semi-hooded nib and slanted cap end, from a low-end series.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in Canada -- circa 1960s, it must be from before 1966 or so when they changed their branding to "Sheaffer," rather than "Sheaffer's."
Length Fountain pen is just over 4-7/8", the pencil is just over 4-3/4".
Filling System The pen takes Sheaffer Cartridges (which are still made). We tested all the converters and none will fit properly. The pencil takes 0.9mm (aka "Thin") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism (you twist the cap piece to extend the lead). We'll include a small packet of leads.
Color Grey with chrome plated caps and trim.
Nib MEDIUM steel nib (marked on barrel as such) looks like the nibs on the Imperial I pens, the Stylpoint nib. We've also seen this semi hooded nib on similar low end Sheaffer pens with a slanted cap top. It's smooth and firm.
Condition New Old Stock in original box. The barrel of the pen is marked with the original price $2.95. The set looks great. The box shows some age and is a bit soiled from being in storage.
