Product Description
Type Lever filling fountain pen, restored and working well.
Product Name Balance 350, this is the long slender version.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- Circa 1935 (that was the only official year that this model had this clip, but the clip was made for a decade longer).
Length 5-7/16 inches.
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Carmine Red striated celluloid. Gold filled trim.
Nib FINE 14k Sheaffer's "Feather Touch" #5 nib is fairly smooth with a nice quantity of tipping material. It has a bit of springiness to it. It's slightly wider than we usually see, so it might have been considered a medium originally.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The trim shows some brassing and wear, mostly around the ball of the clip. There are some small marks and scratches on the cap and barrel, but generally the pen looks quite good. The imprint is clear and easily read. The viewing section has excellent transparency. We've fully restored the pen and it's working very well.
