Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen with a flexible nib.
Product Name Sheaffer 3-25 Ringtop (the nib is marked 3-25, that usually means the pen was priced at $3.25 when it was new. This gold filled model is rather uncommon, and we expect it was a bit more expensive.)
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA -- late 1920s/early 1930s
Length 3-13/16"
Filling System Lever filler (restored with a new sac)
Color Smooth gold filled finish.
Nib FLEXIBLE EXTRA FINE 3-25 Sheaffer's nib. It's very comfortable with very fine hairlines, but can flex to a nice broad. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with some small scratches on the cap, and microscratching on the cap and body. Hardly any wear in the gold, with no dents except for a tiny pinpoint one in the bottom of the pen, next to the Made in USA imprint. It's quite beautiful, and working well, with a great nib.
