Sheaffer Cadet Fountain Pen (1953-63) - Black w/Chrome Plated Trim, Tip Dip, Fine F1 Steel Nib (Near Mint, Restored)
SKU: 24012
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Cadet Tip-Dip
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA - this model ran from about 1952 to '63, but at some point they changed their design to have a section which matched the color of the body. Before that, all sections on these pens were black. This one is uni-color, but since it's all black it's hard to tell which version this is.
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System The pen has "Tip-Dip" filling system, which is a lot like a touchdown system, and we'll include instructions on its use. It has been restored with a new sac and is working well.
Color Black with chrome plated trim.
Nib FINE Sheaffer's F1 steel nib.
Condition Near mint condition, never inked or dipped. There's a faint remnant of the original chalk mark on the barrel. No cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a nice-sized velvety black, shiny pen in a classic design. The cap and barrel have some small marks here and there picked up in storage. The cap band has microscratching and light plating wear. The clip has plating wear. The imprints are clear.
