Product Description
Type Compact fountain pen
Product Name Compact I Cartridge Pen. Check out Pen Hero's detective work about the model.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, made in U.S.A. -- 1960-64. The earliest models briefly featured a "Visulated" barrel with multiple rectangular clear windows, so the lack of them indicates this is the second version.
Length Just over 4-3/4"
Filling System The fountain pen takes Sheaffer-style cartridges. Squeeze and piston converters are too long to fit in the pen. We will include a fresh cartridge.
Color Dark Blue with steel plated trim. The cap is squared and the barrel is rounded. 3/8" cap band and short clip
Nib EXTRA FINE Sheaffer inlaid steel nib. The Compact series of pens all have the "V" shaped inlay nibs.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. When we got the pen, the nib was bent, but it has straightened out nicely. This is a short, chubby pen that is very shiny and that is in a great color. The section has a little bit of chipping along the edge of the feed as well as a couple of heavy scratches just underneath that. The barrel has light to some moderate scratching near the end. You are still able to see a little of the chalkmark on the barrel. The cap has moderate scratching especially to the right of the clip. The cap band and clip are excellent with just a few microscratches. The imprint is clear.
