For your consideration, we are offering for sale this vintage circa 1959 Sheaffer PFM I Burgundy Snorkel Fountain Pen that still retains the original chalk markings. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in fabulous operating and writing condition.

The PFM came in five principal models, varying by cap and trim color. What we have here is the PFM I. The PFM models below for your reference:


PFM I - Single color plastic cap and barrel, polished stainless steel clip and cap band, and palladium silver nib. The PFM I is the only model without the White Dot.

PFM II Frosted stainless steel cap and plastic barrel, polished stainless steel clip and cap band, and palladium silver nib.

PFM III - Single color plastic cap and barrel, gold-filled clip and cap band, and a 14kt gold nib.

PFM IV - Stainless steel cap and plastic barrel, gold-filled clip and plunger cap endplate, and a 14kt gold nib.

PFM V - Gold plated cap and plastic barrel, gold-filled clip and plunger cap endplate, and a 14kt gold nib.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, teeth marks or repairs. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel of the fountain pen. The fountain pen cap lip is stamped with, "SHEAFFER Made in U.S.A." This Sheaffer PFM I measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 5 5/8" posted.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, teeth marks, or repairs. There are no monograms on the barrel. The barrel has the original chalk markings. The cap is stamped with, "SHEAFFER Made in U.S.A." This Sheaffer PFM I measures 5 3/8" in length capped and 5 5/8" posted.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, section, and feed. I have hand-polished the Burgundy cap, Clip, and Palladium Silver Medium Nib. 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 correct reproduction parts. This Sheaffer Pen has been disassembled, cleaned, and inspected for defects before reassembling.

The PFM I model comes with the Sheaffer Palladium Silver Inlay NIB has a medium point measuring roughly .82mm when measured with digital calipers. The NIB writes with a Medium to Broad line/stroke variation. In the writing sample provided, the line variations measure from .83mm to 1.03mm when measuring with digital calipers. The nib performs very smoothly when creating the writing sample. 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 it fills as it should. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Black Ink.

This Sheaffer PFM I is hard to find in this condition with Chalk Marks in Mint Condition. It is ready to write or just add to your writing arsenal collection. I consider this Sheaffer PFM I in Mint Condition and certainly a collector-grade fountain pen that should be cherished in a deserving collection.
