Product Description
Type Vintage Sheaffer ring top fountain pen in excellent working condition.
Product Name 36HM, as seen in a 1923 Sheaffer catalog (pg 16).
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA -- 1920s. It's probably from 1922 - 1927, because we believe that the company's logo changed in 1922 to incorporate the joined R and S at the end of "Sheaffer's", and then changed to something else around 1927.
Length 3-13/16" without the ring top hardware
Filling System Lever filler - working perfectly with a new sac.
Color "Full Mounted" in Sheaffer's description, which means a gold-filled full overlay on black hard rubber. The overlay has a scalloped chasing pattern. The section is black (slightly faded). Personalized "C. B. M." on barrel.
Nib Fine 14k Sheaffer #2 Self Filling nib. It feels soft, but no line variation to speak of.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks or chips. This is a petite, shiny, gold pen with a beautiful pattern. The cap and barrel have microscratching. The top of the cap and cap lip has brassing along the edge. The end of the barrel has plating wear from posting. The lever looks excellent with just a few light scratch marks. The top hardware is in good condition. The pen is personalized on the barrel, "C. B. M." The imprints are clear.
