Product Description
Type The nicest of the Sheaffer No Nonsense pens! Modern cartridge/converter filling fountain pen, working well.
Product Name No Nonsense, this is one of the upgraded "Old Timer" models which have gold plated trim and nib, and a small top piece the same color as the body of the pen. (You can distinguish between this pen and the black "Vintage" No Nonsense by the fact that it is slightly longer by 1/16" from the regular No Nonsense pens. This increase in length is due to a small black piece that Sheaffer fitted to the top of the cap which effectively plugged the indentation and gave the pen its solid flat top. You can see a small line at the top of the cap where this insert sits).
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer – circa 1990s or 2000s.
Length 5-1/4 inches.
Filling System It takes Sheaffer cartridges, or you can fill it with bottled ink via the included squeeze converter. The Sheaffer piston converter is too long to install in this pen.
Color Black plastic with a chased herringbone pattern. (There were a few different patterns for the Old Timer pens.) This is meant to look like the chased hard rubber pens from the early 1900s. It has with gold plated trim.
Nib BROAD gold plated Sheaffer USA nib marked B. It's smooth and firm.
Condition Near Mint condition. As far as we can tell, the pen has never been inked. There are some small scratches on the top of the cap. The cap lip has some small marks on the inside of the cap lip; these are evenly spaced around the perimeter, so we think that these are just an artifact of the machining process. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization, or plating wear.
