I received this Sheaffer c&c pen as a bonus along with three parts pens, and the donor said he thought it was an Imperial of some sort, but I haven't been able to find anything with a nib of this particular shape. Note that this is an Australian made pen. The nib is a nice, wet medium, but it looks as thou...

After a long time of trying, I have finally managed to obtain a 1928 Sheaffer Jade Radite Flattop. It has been my experience that side lever sac filled pens are difficult to thoroughly flush. I have also been told that the Noodlers Inks that I favor are not good to use in an old pen like this. So I must choos...

Hi all, Some time ago, I got a Sheaffer's vintage?small pen. It's about 10cm long, quite thin, lever-filler, hard rubber, gold plated (most probably, I don't think it's solid gold) overlay with some chasing/filligree, solid gold #2 nib, screw cap. The point is: Nib is wrinkled (most probably beyon...

Hey everyone! Ive been going through alot of reference pictures for Sheaffer pens, unfortunately I haven't been able to find one like this, which leaves me thinking it might be a different brand. Its a pen pencil combo with no white dot, however the marking on the clip has an S and the style/coloration...

Just returned two nice Carmine Red Sheaffers to my pen cabinet after being in my rotation for a few months so I thought I'd snap a quick photo of them along with their cousins: Enjoy looking. Jack? -- Edited by Jack125 at 17:40, 2008-09-26

Just received today; the very rare and elusive Sheaffer Grand Connaisseur Fountain Pen and Ballpoint in Blue Marble Ronce finish.? It is believe that 10 or less of thse were produced by Sheaffer UK. I am one happy guy! Jack

Here's one you don't see very often at all. A 1935-36 or so OS Sheaffer "Abalone chip" Ebonized Pearl set. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've seen a #7 nib. The best part of this one is when I found it in ebay it had a $30.00 BIN option on it. I was expecting a 'standard' size or smaller set...

I just won these on ebay for 19.95 each, what model are they does anyone know?? Is this a good deal on these pens?? As some of you may know I am new to this game.

I'm wondering if anyone out there in Sheaffer Land knows the breakdown of the Palladium Alloy used in the early Snorkels? I'm thinking Palladium, Silver, Gold and Copper but I'm unsure as to the percentages of each.? Any thoughts? PeteWK

Here for your reading pleasure is a brief Sheaffer Pen Company history written in the early 1950s. I'll be posting more from this source in the Research section, though you'll need to join the Board to view them. Regards, PeteWK -- Edited by PeteWK at 18:36, 2007-11-14

If you have a Sheaffer silver pen (color or composition) share it with the rest of us. I'll start off with a sweet Sheaffer Imperial C/C filler in sterling silver.? Very tightly etched. PeteWK

Sheaffer cap bands, especially the Balance variety, have long held a fascination for me.? I'm drawn to the 14k and jewelers bands.? I'm putting up pictures of a few that I've laid my hands on today.? I'd be interested in seeing some not pictured here.? Any more for show? PeteWK

This happy band is an 18k gold Imperial FP and BP Masterpiece set from the early to mid 1970s. It belonged to a former Sheaffer Exec. who was once the assistant to Craig Sheaffer during his waning days at the company. I purchased the set from his daughter who was liquidating the estate. The set is English...
