Product Name Sentinel Snorkel Set
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in Canada (imprinted on cap and barrel) -- 1952-59.
Length Pen is 5-9/16", pencil is just over 5".
Filling System The fountain pen is a snorkel filler, which is working very well after we restored it with a new sac, O-ring, and point gasket. The pencil take 0.9mm leads which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. It's working well, and we'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Black bodies with chrome plated caps and gold plated trim.
Nib FINE 14k gold Sheaffer's Triumph style nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. The nib has a gentle "Waverly" upturn.
Condition Excellent condition. The set is shiny and elegant. The mechanical pencil is dainty. Both rest in the original Sheaffer's Snorkel pen box with instructions under the bottom pad. Both the fountain pen and mechanical pencil have light scratching on the barrels. The caps and trims are excellent with just some microscratching. There are no cracks. There are a few small dents on the top of the pen cap, but none on the pencil. The imprints are clear.
