Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this vintage circa 1959 Sheaffer Sentinel Snorkel Fountain Pen in the scarce Fern Green color with a two-tone conical 14K nib. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful operating and writing condition.

The Sheaffer Sentinel model combination was the two-tone cap and 14K two-tone nib - this is what is known as the Sentinel for the Snorkel.  This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, teeth marks, dings, dents, or repairs. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. The cap is stamped with, "SHEAFFER Made in U.S.A." This Sheaffer Snorkel measures 5 1/2" in length capped and 6 1/2" posted. NOTE: The Fern Green color was only produced from 1957 to 1959 so this limited time in production makes the color scarce for snorkel colors

I have ultrasonically cleaned the Fountain Pen NIB, section, feed, and tube. Hand polished the cap and two-tone 14K Medium Nib. There is no brassing or wear to the cap or the gold-filled clip and cap banding on the fountain pen. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel, cap, and blind cap to bring back the vibrancy and protect the material of the fountain pen. I installed a new rubber sac, o-ring, and point seal - all have been replaced with the correct reproduction parts. This Sheaffer Pen has been disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for any defects before reassembling. The snorkel tube moves freely and draws ink as it should.

The 14K NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .76mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB writes with a medium line/stroke. In the writing sample provided, this NIB stroke measures roughly .72mm to .83mm when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue Ink.

The Touchdown filling system has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned/restored, put back together, and added a dab of pure silicone to the Touchdown filling system for ease and smooth operational use. The filling system now has perfect suction and works flawlessly.

This Sheaffer Snorkel is in the High-Cachet Fern Color which is uncommon to acquire. The fountain pen is in ready-to-write condition or just add it to your Snorkel writing arsenal collection. I would consider this Sheaffer Snorkel to easily grade in Excellent Condition.
