Product Name This pen is from the Balance series, with one of the uncataloged, so-called Jeweler's bands. It does not have a number, and is not a Lifetime (White Dot) model.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in USA -- 1939-42.
Length 4-13/16 inches.
Filling System Vac-fill. We've restored it and it's working well.
Color Grey Striated finish with silver trim, a lined "jeweler's" band and a flat ball style clip. The blind cap has a neat looking stained glass pattern of diamonds in the grey striation.
Nib FINE Semi-Flexible Sheaffer's #33 14k gold nib. See writing sample in photos.
Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a dainty little pen in a nice color with good barrel transparency. The cap and barrel have light scratching. The main issue is the cap band that is scratched and has significant plating wear rendering it worn-looking and semi-dull. The clip has some scratches also, but it is shiny. The imprints are clear.
