This example remains in Mint, New Old Stock, Never Inked condition and is complete with its original box, ink cartridge, and unused converter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sheaffer Fashion II came out in 1993 and was in production in the 1990s. This model shouldn't be confused with the early Fashion, thinner model. This Sheaffer Fashion II was designated as model #291.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Red Marbled lacquer finish is particularly attractive, displaying rich red coloring with subtle marbling throughout the cap and barrel. The finish is beautifully complemented by the warm appearance of the 23K gold electroplated trim. The cap clip is appropriately marked “U.S.A. \u0026amp; SHEAFFER.” There are no monograms or personalizations, and the finish and trim remain exceptionally clean with no scratches, brassing, or visible wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sheaffer Fashion II measures approximately 5 3\/8 inches capped, 6 3\/16 inches posted, and weighs .98 ounces, giving it a comfortable and well-balanced size for everyday writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Fashion II is fitted with a 23K gold-plated stainless steel nib, and I currently have examples available in both Medium and Broad points. The rear of the section is appropriately marked with a gold “M” for Medium or “B” for Broad, depending on the nib selected. The nibs have never been inked or dip-tested and remain in their original, untouched condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen accepts Sheaffer ink cartridges or the accompanying unused squeeze converter. One Sheaffer ink cartridge is included with the pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Sheaffer presentation box completes the offering, along with the unused converter and cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Fashion II itself is not necessarily a rare Sheaffer model, the Red Marbled finish is considerably more difficult to encounter, particularly in this untouched New Old Stock condition. Finding one that has remained preserved with its original packaging makes this an especially appealing example for collectors of Sheaffer and vintage 1990s writing instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA handsome and understated Sheaffer, this Fashion II offers an attractive combination of the distinctive Red Marbled lacquer, 23K gold trim, classic White Dot styling, and pristine New Old Stock condition. Whether added to a Sheaffer collection or enjoyed as an everyday writer, it is a wonderful example of Sheaffer's later production and a pen that has been remarkably well preserved for more than three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":49278960369972,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":49278960402740,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/1993SheafferFashionIIRedMarbleLacquerFountainPen1.jpg?v=1788635267","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/products\/new-old-stock-1993-sheaffer-fashion-ii-red-marble-fountain-pen-never-inked-1","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
