Product Description
Type Snorkel fountain pen
Product Name Sheaffer Statesman Snorkel
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, Canada -- 1950-2
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Snorkel filler, working perfectly. We'll send instructions on how to use the snorkel filling system.
Color Burgundy body and cap. Gold-plated clip and 3/8" wide cap band.
Nib MEDIUM Triumph nib isn't marked, but we believe it is PdAg (palladium-silver) because that's what belongs on this model and we've read that it is not always marked.
Condition Very Nice condition. The pen has handwear and microscratching. There is a fine crack on the back side of the conical nib (see photo) which does not extend all the way to the bottom edge; we've tested the pen and it doesn't leak or otherwise affect the functioning of the pen. Some plating loss on the section threads. The imprint is worn, but still legible. The pen is fully restored and working well.
