Sheaffer Balance Jr Set

Sheaffer Balance Jr FP & Pencil Set

Color: Carmine Striated
Material: Celluloid

Filler:
Date c. 1939-45

Nib: F/M 14K #3 LT 2T
Working? Yes

Another fantastic Carmine Balance in nearly mint condition, this time part of a set. The visulated section is clear and un-ambered, and the color is perfect. The clips on the pen and pencil don’t match, making me suspect a replacement of either one instrument, or the pen cap. I don’t like this nib quite as much as the solo Carmine Jr., but it’s still a lovely little instrument.
