Sheaffer - Balance Lifetime Oversize - No reserve price - Fountain pen

A0000003468

Example in very good overall condition, maintaining a solid, elegant presence coherent with its age.

The dark green veined celluloid preserves shine and depth, with the veins well defined and no noticeable discolorations. Micro signs of use are observed, typical of the passage of time, but without cracks, fractures or structural deformations. No crystallizations or signs of chemical deterioration, something especially relevant in this type of material.

The cap maintains proper fit to the body. The golden clip maintains good tension and alignment, showing light wear on the gold plating according to age. The rings present uniform conservation.

The striped ebonite section is intact, with no bites or deformations, texture well defined.

The solid gold 14K Lifetime nib maintains correct alignment and intact geometry. Superficial signs of normal use are evident, with no cracks or visible interventions. Clear and legible engravings.

The Vacuum-Fil system (syringe-style plunger) is structurally complete, including rod and internal assembly. The operating condition of the rubber seal should be checked or replaced for heavy use, something common in pieces from this period.

No structural dents, material losses or visible repairs observed.

Overall, it is a piece with excellent aesthetic presence, very attractive for collection or light maintenance restoration if desired for regular use.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Happy bidding!
