Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil working well
Product Name "Lifetime" was the product line, but Flat top is what collectors call this style of 1920s-30s Sheaffer. This was the mate to the oversized fountain pen.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA - circa 1925-29
Length 5-5/16"
Filling System Takes 1.1 mm (or "thick") leads which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism (you turn the top piece to extend and retract the lead). We'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Black and Pearl with gold filled trim.
Condition Excellent condition. There's some very minor denting in the top piece. The plating has also thinned a bit on the top piece - it looks worse in the pictures than it does to the eye or even under magnification. There's some light scratching on the barrel. The clip looks really good, some small dents and slight brassing on the ball, but the rest of the clip looks great. Barrel is personalized with "K. L. Morris". The pencil is working very well. No cracks or chips.
