Product Description
Type Vintage Fountain Pen
Product Name Sheaffer 7-30
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA - early 1920s. The BCHR 7-30 was introduced in 1923 and replaced in 1927 by the Lifetime models. It was not a good selling model, as for a few dollars more you could get the Lifetime model with a lifetime guarantee, and so it is not at all common.

Filling System Lever filler - restored and working perfectly with a new sac.
Color Black hard rubber with gold plated trim.
