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

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...

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...
