Product Description

Product Name "Lifetime" was the product line, but Flat top is what collectors call this style of 1920s-30s Sheaffer.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA, 1930s.
Length 5-3/8" (Over-sized)
Filling System Takes 1.1 mm leads. A package of leads will be included.
Color Light Jade green with gold filled trim. Long humped clip. Personalized: "Ronald Maynard".
Condition Very nice condition with no cracks. This is a beautifully, consistently colored pencil in a large size. The surface of the barrel has light to some moderate scratching. There is a noticeable splotchy mark to the right of the top of the clip and lower down, mid-barrel. (We're not sure if this is something on the surface like glue, or damage to the celluloid.) The cone looks excellent. The clip has plating wear on the ball and on the upper edge but it does not have much scratching. The twist top has some scratch marks here and there and a splotch of plating wear near the lower edge. The pen is personalized on the barrel, "Ronald Maynard". The imprints are clear.
