AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A magnificent piece of mid-20th-century American writing engineering. The Sheaffer Snorkel is widely regarded as one of the most complex and fascinating filling systems ever created: by turning the rear button, a small metal tube extends beneath the nib tip. This allows filling the pen directly from the ink bottle without even staining the gold nib.
The Valiant model stands out for its elegant Triumph nib in 14k two-tone gold, which provides a firm and exceptionally smooth writing experience.
A must‑have for discerning collectors of vintage writing instruments or enthusiasts of the brand.
Dimensions:
14.3 x 1.5 x 1 cm
