Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Circa 1929 Sheaffer Senior Size White Dot Flat Top Fountain Pen in the Jet Black celluloid. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now back in fantastic writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the nib, feed, and section. I have replaced the old ink sac with a new latexsac. I hand-polished the gold-filled Sheaffer clip, cap banding, lever arm, and the Lifetime Sheaffer 14K nib. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel and cap to bring back the vibrancy and to protect the material of the fountain pen.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap has a gold-filled clip that has been polished brightly, there is minor wear on the high point of the ball of this clip. The gold-filled cap banding has been polished to shine brightly - there is very minor edging wear on the left and right sides which is difficult to see without magnification so it is very minor. The lever arm shows no wear at all. The top of the cap is flat and displays the white dot in the center. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO PAT FORT MADISON IOWA U.S.A. MADE IN U.S.A". The celluloid is in excellent condition displaying a deep jet black color. This Sheaffer Senior Flat Top Fountain Pen measures 5 5/16" in length capped and 6 3/4" posted.

The Sheaffer Senior Flattop has the Lever Filling system, which works fantastic. In my tests with water and the new latex sac, it performs as it was originally designed to.

This Sheaffer has a 14K Lifetime Nib with a medium nib point. The actual iridium tip on this Sheaffer Nib has a medium point measuring roughly .65mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with an extra fine to fine stroke/line. The nib is extremely rigid but writes very well. In the writing sample provided, the nib performs between .40mm to .57mm when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was performed by dipping the Nib in Parker Blue Ink.

Here is a fantastic Senior Sheaffer Flat Top Fountain Pen that I would grade in Excellent condition and worthy of being in a Black Pen Society chapter. Certainly, a collector-grade fountain pen that is ready to write with or just add to writing arsenal collection.
