AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The pen is in very good overall condition, with notable preservation considering its age and belonging to the prestigious Sheaffer Lifetime Tuckaway line.
The body and the cap, made of black resin, retain a good level of shine, showing slight micro surface marks typical of normal use and the passage of time, visible only under close inspection. No cracks, fissures, or deformations are observed, maintaining a solid and properly aligned structure.
The gold-plated elements (characteristic short clip of the Tuckaway model and wide central band) show slight and uniform wear, consistent with the age of the piece, with no significant losses or major damages. The Sheaffer white dot located at the top of the cap is intact and well preserved.
The Triumph solid 14K gold conical nib, a distinctive feature of the Lifetime range, is complete, with the tip present and well aligned, without cracks or visible structural damage. It shows normal signs of use, consistent with its age, and retains its original shape.
The Touchdown charging system has been verified and is functioning correctly at the time of inspection, allowing normal ink loading.
Overall, it is a Sheaffer Lifetime Tuckaway original, well preserved for its time, suitable for both collection and careful regular use, and representative of the quality, innovation, and durability of mid-20th century American engineering.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
