Product Name Statesman Snorkel
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA, 1952-9, probably before 1956 since the Burgundy color changed a bit then.

Filling System Snorkel filler - restored and working perfectly. We'll send instructions on how to use the snorkel filling system.
Color Burgundy body and cap. Gold plated trim. Wide, 3/8", cap band with simple border etched within.
Nib Fine palladium-silver conical Triumph nib with a nice Waverly-style tip (upturned for smoother writing). The nib is labeled F4 beneath the feed. It means that it's a fine PdAg Triumph nib. That matches the model. The nib has some give, but be careful. Palladium is easy to spring.
Condition Excellent + condition, in box, with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The cap and barrel have light scratches only. The clip and trim ring are lovely. The box is in excellent condition both inside and out. The imprints are clear.
