Sheaffer Legacy fountain pen with a plastic body, made in the United States in the mid-20th century, in good used condition and in working order, length 13.8 cm and diameter 1.2 cm, with an integrated nib engraved Sheaffer 18K 750.
Description from the seller
A0000003686
The Sheaffer Legacy fountain pen is presented in a state of conservation that is highly noteworthy, evidencing minimal use and careful maintenance over time.
The knurled metal body maintains a uniform and deep shine, with clean reflections that enhance its elegant design. No dents, dings, or material loss are observed; only micro-surface signs typical of very light handling, practically imperceptible to the naked eye.
The cap preserves its geometry and fit intact, with the clip perfectly aligned and firm, without play or deformations. The set conveys solidity and precision, features typical of the Sheaffer Legacy range.
The grip section, in black resin, is in excellent condition, with a smooth and glossy surface, no cracks or relevant wear. The transition between materials is clean and well-defined.
The integrated nib, characteristic of this model, is in very good condition. It retains its original shape, without visible deformations, with sharp engravings (Sheaffer 18K 750) and a polished surface that correctly reflects light. The tip shows minimal wear, in line with very moderate use, suggesting smooth and reliable writing.
Overall, the piece stands out for its excellent aesthetic presence and a level of conservation above average, making it a very attractive option for both use and collection.
Conservation recommendations
To keep the piece in optimal condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, completely dry before storing, store in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper conservation.
Good bidding!
