Product Name Sentinel Snorkel Set
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in U.S.A. -- 1952-59.

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 takes 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 Gray bodies with chrome plated caps and gold plated trim.
Nib MEDIUM 14k gold Sheaffer's Triumph style nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. Marked M5, confirming the width and material
Condition Excellent condition for this beautiful set. The fountain pen has very light wear on the barrel, but the overall look is smooth and shiny. Some of the masking has been polished off of the nib, revealing the gold color underneath. The cap and trim are gorgeous. The mechanical pencil is excellent all-around.The fingergrip section does show some wear, just slight unevenness of the grooves. No cracks, chips, dings, or dents. The imprints are clear.
