AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Sheaffer Imperial gold-plated set is presented in good overall condition, maintaining an elegant presence consistent with its age, typical of a vintage set from the mid-20th century.
The gold plating on both pieces retains a notable and uniform shine, with consistent reflection and no significant material loss. Slight superficial micro signs are observed, typical of use and age, visible only upon close inspection, which do not affect the overall aesthetics or visual appeal of the set.
In the fountain pen, the body shows a slight deviation from its original axis. This deviation is smooth and stable, not structural, and does not compromise the integrity of the material or the assembly of the piece. The cap fits properly, and the pen maintains good functional alignment. It is a particularity to be aware of, reflecting its age, which does not hinder its use nor diminish its collectible character.
The Triumph 14K (585) solid gold nib is in good structural condition, with no visible cracks or deformations, showing normal and even wear at the tip, suitable for proper writing. The feed and the entire nib assembly are intact.
The mechanical pencil, as part of a set, is kept in very good condition, with a straight body, well-maintained plating, and an operational mechanism, offering a particularly clean appearance within the collection.
The original Sheaffer's case is included and shows evident signs of use and interior patina, consistent with its age, while still maintaining its structure and functionality as a presentation element.
Overall, this is an authentic, honest, and well-preserved Sheaffer Imperial set, with a clearly described imperfection in the body of the pen, but with great aesthetic, historical, and collectible value. It is a piece suitable for collectors who value originality and vintage character above absolute perfection.
Good auction!
