  • Material: Black resin with stainless steel caps
  • Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
  • Nib Size: Fine (F)
  • Pen Type: Fountain
  • Condition: This black Sentinel pen and pencil set is in very good restored condition. No dings in the pen cap but the gold cap band has three tiny marks on the back and one on the front (please see the photos). Otherwise, the pen and pencil are free of defects. The mechanical pencil is excellent--propels and retracts as designed, has a new eraser and 3 extra leads in the storage area. The gift case is fair due to an ink stain on the lining shown in one of the photos. The original Sheaffer Snorkel instructions leaflet is excellent. There is also an original card from the 1950s, probably from the store in Chicago that sold the pen. Restoration includes 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).

    Description
    This black Sentinel pen and pencil set is in very good restored condition. No dings in the pen cap but the gold cap band has three tiny marks on the back and one on the front (please see the photos). I have discounted the price to account for these.
    Otherwise, the pen and pencil are free of defects.
    The mechanical pencil is excellent--propels and retracts as designed, has a new eraser, and has 3 extra leads in the storage area. The gift case is only fair due to an ink stain on the lining shown in one of the photos. The original Sheaffer Snorkel instructions leaflet is excellent. There is also an original business card from the 1950s, probably from the store in Chicago that sold the pen (note the 5-digit telephone number).
