Product Name Sentinel Snorkel Set
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in U.S.A. -- 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 Pastel green bodies with chrome plated caps and gold plated trim. "Pastel Green" was Sheaffer's name for this medium green, it's not really pastel by our definition.
Nib MEDIUM 14k gold Sheaffer's Triumph style nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. The nib has a gentle "Waverly" upturn.
Condition Superior condition, in Sheaffer's box, with paperworik. The set is a beautiful bright color, and both the pen and pencil are shiny, lovely and look almost new. The fountain pen has some posting marks near the end of the barrel. The mechanical pencil has just some very light scratches on the barrel. Both caps, clips, and trim are gorgeous. No cracks, chips, dings, or dents. The imprints are clear.
