Product Name Self-Filling (aka "Flat Top") #2 pen in ring top form.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA - 1918-21 (those were the years this "big S" imprint was used).

Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.

Nib FLEX FINE gold Sheaffer's #2 Self Filling nib is smooth with nice tipping material. Easy line variation from fine to broad. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization, or plating wear. There's some slight discoloration on the hard rubber which is almost inavoidable on these older hard rubber pens. There are a few small scratches on the barrel. The imprint is very clear and readable, and the chasing is still quite distinct. The pen has been fully restored and is working very well.
