Article: SHEAFFER LIFETIME FLAT-TOP FOUNTAIN PEN, black and pearl celluloid (Black & Pearl) with gold ring and top ring (ringtop)
Length: 11.5 cm
Diameter: 1.1 cm
Nib: F
Period: 1920s–30s (Radite celluloid, since 1924)
Materials: Body and cap of Radite celluloid in black and pearl with amber veining; cap ring and top ring gold-pl plated; distinctive Lifetime mark at the end of the cap; Sheaffer’s Lifetime nib in gold with seal "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. – Made in U.S.A."
Condition: Good condition for its age. The celluloid retains gloss and the nacreous veining, with amber patina typical of aged material; in the black areas of the cap there is fine superficial crazing customary in these pieces. Small holes are observed in the cap and body, as well as wear marks and micro-scratches from use. The gold ring shows wear and loss of plating at some points. The feed/section threads show greenish discoloration from use. The nib appears intact and well aligned. The function and watertightness of the filling system have not been tested; a check is recommended before using it with ink.
Accessories: Only the loose piece; no box or papers visible in the photos.
