Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Classy Restored Circa 1938 Sheaffer Oversize Balance Fountain Pen in the Jet Black Celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in superb writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Replaced the rubber sac with a new sac. Hand-polished the gold-filled clip, cap banding, and 14K gold 2-Tone nib. I also cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel and cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the celluloid of the fountain pen.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap has the White Dot with a gold-filled clip and cap banding. The trim on this Sheaffer OS Balance is in spectacular condition with no wear and is polished to shine brightly once again. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO FORT MADISON, IOWA U.S.A. MADE IN U.S.A.". There are no monograms or personalizations either the cap or barrel. This Oversized Sheaffer Balance Fountain Pen measures 5 5/8" in length capped and 6 3/8" posted.

I have tested the lever-filling mechanism with water and fills as it should.

The Sheaffer has a 14K Gold Lifetime with the actual iridium point measuring at a fine point, .53mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a fine to medium line variation. In the writing sample provided, the fine line measures at .45mm and will vary to medium stroke that measures at .65mm with medium to firm pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The nib does not have any real flex and is a rigid writer. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue Ink.

This is one of those vintage Sheaffer Oversize Fountain Pens you don't always get a chance to secure in your collection in this type of condition and that is why the price is where it is. This classy Oversize Sheaffer Balance Fountain Pen in the Jet Black Celluloid would grade in Excellent+ to Near Mint Condition. Certainly, this fountain pen is collector grade and is ready to write with or just add to your writing arsenal collection.
