Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen, restored and working well.
Product Name Lifetime, called a "Flat Top" by collecters. This is a smaller flat top with a white dot on the top of its cap and a C imprint on the end of its barrel.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA – circa late 1920s.
Length 4-1/2".
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Jade green with gold plated trim, a 1/8" wide cap band, and a white dot on the top of its cap. There's quite a lot of the typical discoloration on the barrel and in a band around the cap where the color appears a darker, less vibrant hue than on much of the cap.
Nib FINE Sheaffer's Lifetime gold nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The main flaw is the discoloration, as mentioned above, and there are some small marks and scratches on the cap and barrel. The trim shows a few tiny spots of brassing, but looks quite clean. The imprint is fairly crisp and readable, and we've restored the filling system so the pen works very well. (That's a shadow on the cap lip, not a crack.)
