Product Description
Type Vintage lever filling fountain pen, restored and working well. Rare nib.
Product Name Oversized Lifetime pen from the Balance family. Extra fat!
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in U.S.A. – circa 1935-42 (we can date it by the "radius" style of the clip).
Length A little over 5-1/2-inches.
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 radius style clip, and a 1/8-inch cap band.
Nib Very rare! Fine two-tone gold Sheaffer's #8 Feathertouch nib. The nib is a replacement or special order from Sheaffer, as Lifetime white dot pens would have come with Lifetime nibs.
Condition Superior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large, impressive pen that is beautifully shiny. The cap has marks caused by the cap lip and just some light scratching. The cap has light scratching with a few little scratches under the cap ring. The cap ring, clip, and white dot are perfect. The lever has a tad of plating wear at the very top. The imprints are crisp and clear.
