AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Sheaffer 1000 fountain pen is presented in very good condition, especially noteworthy considering its age, dating back to the 1920s.
The body and the cap, made of translucent marbled celluloid, retain excellent chromatic depth and a remarkable shine, with well-defined veins and no visible cracks, fissures, or breaks. The characteristic transparency of the material remains uniform, with no signs of crystallization.

The golden metallic elements, including the clip and the central ring, are well preserved, showing only slight surface signs typical of the passage of time, with no corrosion or structural losses.
The original inscriptions on the body are clear and perfectly legible, a feature especially valued in pieces from this era. The 14K gold Sheaffer Lifetime nib is intact, properly aligned, and free of deformations, maintaining its original shape.
The lever loading system is complete and properly integrated into the body. The condition of the internal bag has not been verified, so it may require inspection or replacement for continued use.
Overall, it is a very well-preserved pen for its age, ideal for both collection and restored use, representing the high manufacturing quality of Sheaffer in its high-end models from the twenties.
