Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this extremely rare restored Circa 1944 Sheaffer 14K Solid Gold Crest Masterpiece White-Dot Vacuum-Fil  Fountain Pen. The Masterpiece Set is known for the 14K Solid Gold Clip and Cap. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in smooth writing condition.

This "War Year Period" Sheaffer Masterpiece Fountain Pen is one of the most desirable pens that Sheaffer made. They are extremely scarce to see one, let alone have a chance to own one! This fountain pen is in impeccable condition with little to no wear displayed. I would consider this a "Grail" fountain pen with a chance of a lifetime to own it!

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 barrel is clearly stamped with, "W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO. FORT MADISON, IOWA, U.S.A. MADE IN U.S.A. 3500". The barrel transparency of the barrel is highly visulated with black pinstriping - it is Water Clear! The fountain pen cap is the "Crest" model type which is very difficult to acquire and is stamped 14K on the top of the clip. I also cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the celluloid of the fountain pen.  

Collector Alert: This is a Masterpiece that does not have any monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel of the fountain pen! 

I have ultrasonically cleaned with the nib, feed, section, and barrel. The fountain pen has been restored by replacing the old packing unit with a new one and adding a new plunger gasket. This Sheaffer uses the "Vacuum-Fil" filling system and works as it was designed to after the filling restoration. 

This Sheaffer has the gorgeous Two-toned wraparound Triumph Lifetime 14K NIB. The actual writing portion, the iridium, of the 14K Sheaffer NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .62mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a fine to medium stroke/line measuring between .55mm to .66mm when measured with digital calipers. This nib will not disappoint as it writes smoothly.

Very rarely do these Sheaffer Crest Vacuum-Fil Masterpiece Fountain Pens come up for sale. Finding a fountain pen like this in Excellent+ to Near Mint Condition is extremely rare. Certainly, this is a collector-grade fountain pen being ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
