Product Description
Type Vintage fountain pen in restored working condition
Product Name Sheaffer 5-30 (the cap is not marked, but it has a 5-30 nib). Full size pen.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA -- circa early 1930s
Length Just over 5-1/4"
Filling System Lever filler. We restored it with a new sac and it's working perfectly.
Color Black with gold plated trim.
Nib FINE Sheaffer 5-30 nib is in nice condition. Firm and quite smooth, with nice tipping.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips, no personalization. There are some faint marks on the upper cap and lower barrel (see photos), but otherwise just very light handwear. There's some microscratching on the trim, and small spots of plating wear on the edges of the ball of the clip which expose the silver metal underneath. Otherwise there is hardly a spot of real plating wear or brassing. It's working very well.
