Product Name Sheaffer Snorkel Statesman.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- 1952-9.

Filling System Snorkel filler with a 14k gold snorkel tube. We've restored it with a new sac, point gasket, and O-ring and tested the pen thoroughly. It's working very well and we'll send instructions on how to use the snorkel filling system.
Color Burgundy cap and body, and gold plated trim, and a 3/8 inch wide cap band.
Nib EXTRA FINE Sheaffer's palladium silver conical nib is smooth, with a slighty upturn and nice tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition except for a small dent in the cap band and some lesser scratches on the cap. No cracks, chips, or personalization, and there are only very minor spots of plating wear on the clip. There's light scratching on the barrel, especially in one area due to the cap having been posted. The imprint is a bit worn, but still readable. The pen has been fully restored and it's working very well.
