Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen, restored and working well.
Product Name Balance 500 Feather Touch. Non-white dot, non-lifetime model. This is a large, full length pen, not one of the slender models, and almost as fat as the oversized Lifetime Balances.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- 1935-42
Length A little under 5-1/2".
Filling System Vacuum Filler. We thoroughly tested the system and it's working well. The pen did not require restoration by us, and we will guarantee the filling system to be free of leaks for a period of one year from purchase.
Color Jet Black barrel with gold plated trim and a "radius" style clip.
Nib MEDIUM 14k Feather Touch #5 nib. It's two-tone. It writes with a hint of flex that gives recognizable line variation. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition, no chips, dings, or dents. There are a couple of tiny scuffs on the cap and barrel and some small marks that are probably light bite marks at the end of the barrel. The silver tone of the nib is faded on the edges to show the gold underneath. The pen's imprint is crisp and readable. The pen is fully tested and working well.
