Sheaffer Desk Pen

Sheaffer Desk Pen

Color: Black
Material: Celluloid or Radite?

Filler: Lever
Date c. 1930s

Nib: M-sh 14K 2T Lifetime
Working? Yes

A sweet open nib on a graceful desk pen, with a glossy black glass base with a brass mount. Nib is a little odd, not flexy, but with a wider cross stroke than vertical (architect’s nib, perhaps?). Nice writer nevertheless, perfect for jotting quick notes at my desk. (This is the one featured on the Shaffer main page.)
