Product Description

Product Name This is in the Balance family, and it's an oversized model and was a mate to the oversized fountain pen.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, they produced this pattern from 1937 to 1942
Length 5-5/16" (oversized)
Filling System It takes 1.1mm (or "Thick") leads and extends lead in the traditional twist method. We will include a small container of vintage Sheaffer leads.
Color Marine green striated: differant shades of green celluloid stripes. Gold plated trim.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a nice-sized, colorful pencil. The body has consistent moderate wear throughout with no deep or problematic scratches. There is a tiny chip in the surface close to the nose cone. The nose cone looks great. The clip has brassing along the top and light scratching along the edges. The "cap and barrel" do not quite close, there's a small gap as can be seen in the photos, but this does not impact the mechanism or function of the pencil. The imprints are clear.
