I was surprised this evening to see a nice selection of Sheaffer pens displacing part of the usual Cross offerings at my local OD. Only picked up a black VFM rollerball to complement the FP I bought a couple of years ago.

I am a newbie trying to ID a fountain pen I found at a yard sale. It is a lever fill, and has flat ends on the cap and barrel. It has an S in a circle on the clip, and Royal inscribed down the rest of the clip. It has a #8, 14kt plated nib with a Square and a Star markings under the words. Any help is appreciated. --...

Since the holidays, I've picked up a bunch of new pens. The cheapest is the Sheaffer NoNonsene FP with a Fine nib, shown below. It's actually a shade of green, even though I labeled the file as "Teal". The pen writes quite nicely, although the barrel has a major discoloration mark on it. For $...

Well, I've finally gotten the 404C Stylist FP I acquired awhile back writing the way I want it to. It was working reliably, but the ink I had in it was on the dry side, and made it feel draggy to write with. Today I flushed the thing out, switched to a new-style empty cartridge (vs. the old poke-a-hole-in-t...

This one's a Cartridge Glideriter, used, with the tip dried to rock-hardness. Amazingly, three minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner got pretty much all of the old ink out of the fiber tip, and with the installation of a fresh Sheaffer cartridge, it's writing nicely. Not bad for a 40+ year old cheapie! :-...

Curious to see if anyone knows about Sheaffer's plans/info on a 100 year "Anniversary" Pen?? I am using my Imperial Cart "Lifetime" marked pen (1963-64 only), and I recall that this was the "Anniversary" model more or less- 50 years! Frank

Just added an NOS Sheaffer Prelude Copper with Gold Trim ballpoint (USA) to the fountain pen version in my collection this week. Had to pose them together for a couple of clicks.

The Sheaffer Pen museum now has a website.? It's still evolving and could use some help from Sheaffer pen owners.? One section of the site will be dedicated to "My Sheaffer", a place where folk like you can tell the story of how Sheaffer pens came into your life. ? If you have a special Sheaffe...

A reverse trim, chrome as opposed to the usual gold trim. ? Far from common, dare I even use the "rare" tag !! Far from pristine but not much option as this is the only one I've seen. ? Regards Hugh

I've been researching the net about repairing a Sheaffer balance plunger fill. I found an extremely detailed video by Nathan Tardiff. It was a pretty interesting video to watch. He basically replaces the packing unit with just a Noodler's piston gasket. And he does this to show that such a repair is e...

Picked this up BIN on the'bay for less than $60, apparently mint with a US 18ct nib. Haven't handled one so will be interesting when it arrives. I'll probably ink it as it wasn't expensive. Regards Hugh

Picked ip this a while ago, these pre-snork coloured sigs aren't that easy to find. this one is near mint, perfect case and unsigned.? Here's another shot with the burgundy Sig.

I also cleaned up a Sheaffer craftsman today. The section was stubborn so I'm lucky the lever and sac feel fine. I think to get to the section, I'll have to use more heat, but I didn't want to push my luck today. I got the craftsman cheap and "as is", so of course something was wrong, right? The ni...

Isn't this just the question that lurks in the back of our Collective mind.? Most of my pen collection comes from the White Dot Groupies.? But there are just some that don't turn my crank.?

Hello everyone :) My grandmother passed last year and while going though her things I accidentally found a Sheaffer box with two pens in it.
