Description
This black Snorkel Clipper pen and pencil set is in excellent restored condition. The pen and pencil have no cosmetic defects: no scratches, cracks, or dings. The pen has been smoothed and the ink flow adjusted for excellent writing feel. The mechanical pencil propels and retracts as designed, and there is a new eraser and 3 extra leads in the storage area. The gift case is in poor condition with faded exterior and foxing on the lining.
This Version of the Snorkel
Sheaffer's White Dot Clipper features a stainless steel cap with gold-filled trim and a palladium silver Triumph nib (80% palladium, 20% silver). Palladium silver is a precious metal that Sheaffer began using in 1933 for the masks on premium gold nibs because of its excellent ink-flow properties. Modern fountain pens with palladium silver nibs sell for about the same price as comparable models with 18k gold nibs.
Those who are attracted to gold nibs for gold's inherent value as a precious metal should be aware that palladium has recently sold for as much as 00-1300 on the spot market.
I will include a photocopy of an original Sheaffer's Snorkel instructions leaflet.
All restorations include
disassembly, cleaning,
replacement of all seals and the sac,
smoothing and adjusting the nib,
refinishing the plastic, stainless steel, and gold-filled surfaces,
filling the pen with ink (not just dipping)
and producing multiple writing samples over 2 days (like the ones in the photos).
All shipping materials are now biodegradable.
I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed.
Payment is expected within 3 days.
Free USPS First Class shipping in cardboard box. Shipping to US addresses only.
All shipping materials are biodegradable.
NOTE:
I'm sorry but I ship only to residents of the US.
