Product Description
Type Ornate ballpoint pen with a "reminder" clip, working well.
Product Name "Vintage" aka Grapes and Leaves is from the Imperial line of pens based on the clip style. They only made ballpoints and pencils in this pattern as far as we know (though when they re-used it for the Targa line they did make a slim fountain pen).
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- 1970s.
Length Just over 5-1/16 inches.
Filling System Ballpoint takes standard Sheaffer style refills which are still made. The "reminder clip" mechanism for extending the refills is slightly stiff, but working well.
Color 12k Gold filled casing with a lovely tooled or engraved look to the design of grapes and leaves.
Condition Very nice condition. No cracks, chips, or personalization. There's a little scratching and minor wear on the finish, as well as some minor nicks in the top edge, and some minor marks on the body. The mechanism is working well, and the pen will ship with a working refill.
