Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Gorgeous Restored Circa 1935 Sheaffer Short Slender Balance Fountain Pen in theEbonized Pearl celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in great writing condition.

NOTE: The clip on the pen is a "hump clip with the flat ball" which was produced only in 1934/1935. This is how we can date this fountain pen based on the clip.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, teeth marks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap has a gold-filled "Hump Clip" with Flat Ball and Cap Banding. The clip has just a very small hint of wear on the edging of the flat ball on the clip. The cap banding has just a hint of wear but the trim has all been polished to shine brightly. The barrel is clearly and crisply stamped with, "W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO FORT MADISON, IOWA, U.S.A. PATENTED IN U.S.A.".  There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel. The ebonized peal celluloid has great color with fire and depth - it is a very spectacular color example. This Sheaffer Balance Fountain Pen is a Short Slender size that measures 4 7/8" in length capped and 5 5/8" posted. 

I have ultrasonically cleaned the nib, feed, and section. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new sac. I have hand-polished the Gold Filled Clip, Cap Banding, and 14K Gold NIB. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel and cap to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the celluloid of the fountain pen.

I have tested the lever-filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The Lever Filling System works great, as it was originally intended to.

This Sheaffer has the proper #3 14K NIB. The actual writing portion, the iridium, of the 14K Sheaffer NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .73mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a fine stroke measuring at .45mm and will flex up to a medium/broad .92mm stroke with firm pressure when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue Ink.

This Sheaffer Short Slender Balance Fountain Pen is in magnificent condition and would grade it from Very Fine to Excellent Condition. This is collector-worthy and a super addition to one's writing arsenal collection.
