Product Description
Type Ballpoint
Product Name "Vintage" aka Grapes and Leaves is from the Imperial line of pens based on the clip style. They only made ballpoints and pencils, as far as we know, in this pattern. (When they re-used the design for the Targa line, they did make a slim fountain pen.)
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer, USA, 1970s
Length 5-1/8"
Filling System Ballpoint takes Sheaffer "K" style refills, still made. The "reminder clip" mechanism works well. A working refill is installed.
Color 1/30 12k rolled gold filled with a lovely tooled or engraved look in the design of grapes and leaves. White dot on the top of the clip.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a classic beauty that shines and that is in beautiful condition. There is some microscratching on the cone and on the barrel as it tapers to the cone. The clip has microscratching and a little patina around the white dot. The white dot is perfect. The imprints are clear.
