Product Description
Type Junior sized vintage fountain pen in excellent working condition
Product Name Sheaffer "Flat Top" (The nib and white dot on cap both indicate that the pen was a Lifetime model.)
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA - late 1920s
Length 4-1/2"
Filling System Lever filler, restored with a new sac and working perfectly.
Color Black hard rubber with gold plated trim and a white dot on the top of the cap. We think it used to have a lined chasing pattern (there are hints of that underneath the clip and on the barrel underneath the cap), but now most of the surface has a sort of granular texture.
Nib MEDIUM Gold Lifetime nib is large. In great condition, absolutely huge with nice tipping. It's firm, and fairly smooth.
Condition Very nice condition. There's a medium-sized chip out of the top edge of the cap, which is detailed in the pictures. The surface of the pen is a little unusual, but fairly smooth and there are no scratches or cracks. The cap band has quite a bit wear, and there is some brassing at the top of the clip. No imprint on the barrel.
