    HUGE VINTAGE 1930s SHEAFFER "OVERSIZE" LIFETIME BALANCE FOUNTAIN PEN
    CRISP IMPRINT!
    EXCELLENT TRANSPARENCY!
    BIG, COMFORTABLE IN THE HAND, SMOOTH WRITER!
    FULLY RESTORED & READY TO WRITE!
    GOLDEN BROWN STRIPED
    in color
    with gold trim.
    The pen is in
    VERY GOOD
    condition with scratches and some nibble marks on the butt end.
    This pen has been disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and tested.
    The pen measures 5 1/2" in the capped position.
    The pen's vac-fill system works smoothly and fills with ink as designed with a newly installed piston washer and packing assembly. I drilled out the old packing assembly and replaced it with a new packing gasket and closure washer ala David Nishimura's instructions for an airtight fit.
    The body has EXCELLENT transparency to determine the amount of ink remaining
    The 14K GOLD "WAVERLY" nib of the pen has the expected gentle upturn at the end and is FINE in size.
    The imprint on the nib states "Sheaffers, Lifetime, Reg US Pat Off, Made in USA, 4724109".
    The imprint on the pen states "W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co, Fort Madison Iowa USA, Patented in USA".
    If you have any questions, please ask--I will respond quickly. Good Luck!
    About tbickiii's Vintage Fountain Pens:
    Based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, I have been collecting and restoring fountain pens since 1999.  In order to enable my collecting "habit", I sell restored vintage fountain pens and the occasional modern pen here on ebay.  I do all of the restoration work myself and stand behind my work.  I enjoy restoring these vintage pens and sending them on to someone to use and enjoy.
    I list all my pens on SUNDAY NIGHT, so please check in and see what I have to offer.
    I typically list Parker, Sheaffer, and Wahl Eversharp every week, with the occasional Waterman and Pelikan.
    Also, you can sign up for my NEWSLETTER above to get weekly e-mail notifications of the pens I have listed.
