Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1938 Sheaffer Oversized Balance Plunger Filler Fountain Pen in the Marine Green Striated Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in wonderful writing condition! This Sheaffer Oversize Balance is in impeccable condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the feed and section. I have hand polished the gold-filled clip, cap banding, and 14K gold two-tone nib. I also cleaned, buffed, & polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the celluloid of the fountain pen.

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 does have the White Dot with the gold-filled Uncataloged Wide Lined Jewelers Cap Banding that has been polished to shine bright with no gold-filled loss. (NOTE: Even though the Jeweler's Cap banding is an off catalog, it is the most common of the four that were known to be used). The cap banding cartouche is free from any monograms. The clip displays no wear. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co Fort Madison, Iowa, U.S.A. Patented in the U.S.A.". Collector Alert: The transparency of the barrel is Water Clear - one can easily see through the barrel, these are hard to find in this condition. There are no monograms or personalizations on the celluloid of the cap or barrel. This Oversize Sheaffer Balance Fountain Pen measures 5 5/8" in length capped and 6 1/2" posted.

The plunger-fill system has been completely restored with the barrel holding an enormous amount of ink! Replaced the old packing unit with new, added a new plunger gasket, and new stainless plunger rod. I have tested the plunger filling mechanism with water and fills as it should.

This Sheaffer has the 2-Tone 14K NIB that write ultra-smooth! The actual writing portion, the iridium, of the 14K Sheaffer NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .82mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a fine to medium stroke/line measuring between .57mm to .65mm when measured with digital calipers. I have to point out this Sheaffer Nib writes very smoothly. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the image with Parker Quink Blue Ink.

This is a fantastic Oversize Sheaffer Balance Fountain Pen in the Marine Green Striated Celluloid that I would grade in MINT Condition. Having an uncataloged Jewelr's band in perfect condition, water clear barrel, vibrant celluloid, and spectacular writing nib checks off all the boxes for a scarce Oversize Balance from Sheaffer. This fountain pen is collector grade and ready to write with or just add to your writing arsenal collection.
