Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this vintage Circa 1953 Sheaffer Snorkel Demonstrator Fountain Pen with Medium Nib sticker. This fountain pen was purchased in this condition by me. It has never been used or inked. The filling system is original to the pen and is in perfect working order. The pen came from an old stationary store and is in Mint Condition. Time to let someone else enjoy this piece from my personal collection. 

I have hand polished the gold-filled clip, cap band, and 14K 2-Tone Conical NIB. There is no brassing or wear to any of the gold-filled trim areas. The barrel and cap are clean and free of any scratching.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in excellent condition with no chips, teeth marks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap is original, clean, and free from any cracks or stress marks around the clip. The cap displays the Sheaffer "White Dot" at the top of the cap and is in perfect condition. The cap has the correct blackening on the inner cap which is deep and dark black - there is no inner cap black coloring loss. There are no monograms or personalizations on the barrel or cap. The cap is stamped with, "SHEAFFER'S MADE IN U.S.A.". Just a note on the imprint, typically, I will see the imprint on the barrel and not the cap. This time it is the other way around where the cap has the imprint and not the barrel. It is just a different variant that I have never seen before on Snorkel Demonstrators. This Sheaffer Snorkel measures 5 5/8" in length capped and 6 3/8" posted.

The snorkel tube moves freely and draws ink as it should. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills and dispels as it was designed. The filling system is factory original and I have not restored the filling system only because it is working just as good as if I did restore it. 

The 14K 2-Tone Conical NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .74mm when measured with digital calipers. The original "Medium" nib sticker is still attached to the section. I did not create a writing sample with this pen because the pen has never been inked and is in Mint condition. I wanted to save this pen for the next serious collector. 

This circa 1953 Sheaffer Snorkel Demonstrator model is very scarce and extremely difficult to find in this condition. I would consider this Sheaffer Snorkel Demonstrator to be in near-mint to mint condition. It is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection. I would consider this a collector grade piece that should be cherished in a deserving collection.
