Description

We would like to bring to your attention a special item for sale - a New Old Stock Circa 1949 Sheaffer White Dot Sentinel Touchdown Fountain Pen in Burgundy color with a 2-Tone Cap and 14K Two-Tone Conical Nib. This pen is in impeccable condition, having never been inked and still retaining its nib sticker.

This fountain pen was part of a purchase from an old Stationary Store in Cincinnati, Ohio where I acquired nearly 200 New Old Stock Fountain Pens from the 1940 to 1950s era - this is just one of them.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, teeth marks, or repairs with the cap always securing to the barrel. The polished stainless steel and gold-filled 2-tone cap has the chased repeating pattern of 4 straight longitudinal engraved lines in a stepped grouping and displays in perfect condition with absolutely no wearing of the material. The barrel is stamped, "W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO. FORT MADISON, IOWA U.S.A. MADE IN U.S.A.". The section has a water-clear ink view window. The original FINE Nib Sticker still is remaining and is in good condition. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. I have not touched the fountain pen to buff or polish it - the filling system is in perfect working order and is factory. There is no brassing or wear to the cap or the gold-filled clip and cap banding. The Touchdown tube moves freely and draws ink as it should. This Sheaffer Touchdown measures 5 1/4" in length capped and 6 1/8" posted. This is the thin version of the two Sentinel models, this one is the slimmer model whereas the Deluxe is the more girthier barrel type. 

The Sheaffer 14K 2-Tone Conical NIB has a Fine point that measures .56mm when measured with digital calipers and retains the original "FINE" sticker on the Nib. I have not written with this Nib - I wanted to keep this Fountain Pen in New Old Stock, Mint Condition for the new collector that acquires this one.

The Touchdown filling system has been tested for functionality - I have tested the filling mechanism with water and it fills as it should. The filling system has perfect suction and works flawlessly. 

This Sheaffer TM Touchdown Fountain Pen is in Mint Condition and is almost unheard of finding in this condition with its original sticker and has never been used. The pen is in ready-to-write condition or just add it to your writing arsenal collection. I would consider this Sheaffer Sentinel Touchdown to be in New Old Stock, Mint Condition.
