Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen.
Product Name There is no model number, this is part of the Balance line, with a white dot (note the unusual location on the back side of the cap). The nib would have originally been marked Lifetime, but it has been replaced with a semi-flex Sheaffer Junior 14k nib.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- made after 1934 (when this clip style was introduced).
Length 5-1/8".
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black with gold plated trim, a single 1/8" wide cap band. Amber viewing window. The white dot is located mid-cap.
Nib SEMI-FLEX FINE gold Sheaffer's Junior nib is smooth with nice tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents or dings. This is a nice sized pen, shiny pen with good hand feel. The cap and barrel have light scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and slightly more scratching around the lever. The lever has some plating wear at the very top. The cap band and clip look great. The white dot is perfect. The imprints are nice and crisp..
