Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil working well
Product Name "Lifetime" was the product line, but Flat Top is what collectors call this style of 1920s-30s Sheaffer. This was the mate to the oversized fountain pen with the long humped clip.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA - circa 1925-29
Length 5-5/16"
Filling System Takes 1.1 mm (or "thick") leads which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism (you turn the top piece to extend and retract the lead). We'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Black and Pearl with gold filled trim.
Condition Excellent condition. There's some denting on the edge of the top piece, as well as brassing. The very top surface has scratching, but it still looks good in hand. There's some light scratching on the barrel, and a small chip at the very front edge. The tip of the nose cone has brassing, but the rest looks good. The clip looks really good, brassing around the perimeter of the ball, but the rest of the clip looks great. The pencil is working very well. No cracks.
