Product Description
Type Fountain Pen
Product Name "Lifetime" .... this was the cartridge equivalent of the Imperial IV. In 1963, to celebrate their 50th anniversary, Sheaffer renamed some of the white dot Imperial models "Lifetime." That word is on the nib, clip and impressed in the plastic on both the cap and the barrel.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA, 1963
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Takes Sheaffer cartridges, or the hard to find button converters. Sheaffer squeeze converter and the piston converter do not fit. We have installed a button converter.
Color Black with gold plated cap and trim.
Nib BROAD 14k inlaid nib.
Condition Very Nice condition. There is moderate scratching on the cap and barrel. The clip has some scratches on the right side. The white dot has scratching, but the dark smudges seen in the photos were made by the buffing compound and cleaned off easily, so you won't see them when you get the pen. The cap band has scratching and touches of brassing on the edges. The barrel has moderate scratching all over, as well as some long (~2") scratches. The imprints are clear.
