Product Description
Typen Fountain pen
Product Name Statesman 875. This is the orignal fat version from before they switched to the "TM" (thin model). It has an open nib and is a lever filler. This is a Lifetime pen (based on model number and nib), and the cap should have a white dot, however this one does not. The cap may be a replacement.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA - circa 1948
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored the filling system and it's working very well.
Color Black with gold plated trim, wide 1/4" cap band.
Nib MEDIUM 14k Sheaffer's open style two tone Lifetime nib. It's large, firm, and smooth with nice tipping. There's some slight wear on the top of the nib, but this does not have any effect on its writing.
Condition Excellent condition except for some scratching around the lower barrel (caused by cap posting) and a little bulge on the cap, where it bows out slightly about where the ball of the clip is. Otherwise the pen is extremely shiny and smooth, with no brassing on the pen except for one tiny line on the lever. There's a little wear on the section. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. Fully restored and working well.
