Product Description
Type Full size vintage fountain pen in excellent working condition.
Product Name Sheaffer Self Filling #4 - early "Flat Top" - marked "41" on the end of the barrel.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA - 1920s.
Length 5-3/8 inches.
Filling System Lever filler - working perfectly with a new sac and guaranteed for one year.
Color Black chased hard rubber with gold plated trim. The cap band is 1/2 inch wide and heavily engraved with flowers and a name.
Nib Gold Self Filling #4 nib is in excellent condition with some remaining tipping material. Very good flex, just short of full flex. Just added: writing sample below!
Condition Excellent condition with only light wear. Light brassing on the clip and cap band. The imprints are very crisp, as is the chasing.
The only flaw is inside the cap, where you'll see a chunk of the hard rubber is missing. It's not near the threads and does not affect cap closure.
It has been restored with a new sac and the filling system is working well. (We'll guarantee it for a year.)
There's a personalization on the cap band -- Bruschi.
