Description

Restored Sheaffer
MINT UNUSED Black Snorkel Crest
Fine Point
Gold-Filled Cap
Length capped - 5 1/2"
Point - Fine
This black Crest is in mint unused, restored condition with new seals and sac. The inside of the cap is pristine, and when I removed the old sac and inserted a moist swab, there was no evidence of ink.
Crest pens with their gold-filled caps and White dot trim are the premier models of the Snorkel line. In 1955 a Crest pen like this sold for , which is equal to 6 today. Note that Sheaffer did not allow its dealers to discount the price. Those who did lost their dealer status and were not allowed to purchase more stock.
I will include the original Sheaffer Snorkel paper instructions leaflet (in good condition) that came with this pen showing the date of its printing, 1955.
All restorations include
disassembly, cleaning,
replacement of all seals and the sac,
smoothing and adjusting the nib,
filling the pen with ink (not just dipping)
and producing multiple writing samples over 2 days (like the one in the photo).
I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed.
Payment is expected within 3 days.
.95 for USPS First Class shipping in cardboard box. Shipping to US addresses only.

I'm sorry but I ship only to residents of the US and Canada and do not ship to agents.
