Description
This dark burgundy Snorkel Admiral is in excellent restored condition. No defects. I't has a smooth-writing fine-point traditional open nib. The color is known as "dark burgundy," which replaced "burgundy" in the late 50s, toward the end of the Snorkel production run. The dark burgundy pens have color-matched dark burgundy sections. These later Snorkel pens have the
®
symbol on the nib and often an imprint on the cap instead of the barrel, like this example.
This Version of the Snorkel
The Admiral model features a 14k gold nib, gold-filled clip, and 1/4" gold-filled cap band. The nib is a smooth writer (please see the photos of the writing sample).
I will include a photocopy of an original Sheaffer Snorkel paper 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.
