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 Periwinkle (soft blue color) bodies with chrome plated caps and gold plated trim. This is one of the six colors considered most collectible.
Nib MEDIUM 14k gold Sheaffer's Triumph style nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. The nib has a gentle "Waverly" upturn, not dramatic.
Condition Excellent + condition. The set is a beautiful bright color, and both the pen and pencil are shiny and look great. The fountain pen has some signs of light usage, with some minor scratches on the cap. The mechanical pencil looks new with a perfect unscratched cap. Both caps, clips, and trim are gorgeous. No cracks, chips, dings, or dents. The imprints are clear.
