Product Description
Type Early Sheaffer mechanical pencil
Product Name Unknown. There is not model name printed on this pencil, but it looks like a Flat Top.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA, 1920s or '30s
Length 3-1/2" long - according to a 1922 Sheaffer catalog, this was called "midget" length.
Filling System Takes 1.1mm (or "thick") leads, which it extends by traditional twist-method. We'll include a small packet of vintage leads.
Color Gold filled, with a pattern of lengthwise lines interrupted by "diamonds" all along it except for the top piece, the cone, and a small square designed to be engraved.
Condition Excellent condition. There's some brassing around the edge of the flat top-piece. A little brassing on tip of the pen's cone. There's some very minor scratching around the top piece and the cone of the pencil, and some microscratching along the barrel. The cone has a couple of small dents. It's still a very nice looking pencil, beautiful and compact.
