Sheaffer - Balance 875 - No Reserve Price - Fountain pen

This elegant W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co., manufactured in Fort Madison (Iowa, U.S.A.), is presented in a very solid condition and fully functional, maintaining the classic presence and collectible appeal characteristic of the brand.

The dark brown celluloid body with veins and transparency (striated/translucent finish) retains a deep and uniform shine, showing only micro-scratches and slight signs of use typical of a vintage piece. Under direct light, the material reveals its translucency and tonal depth, a feature especially appreciated in this type of finish. No deformations or significant structural damages are visible to the naked eye, and the overall aesthetic remains very harmonious.

The cap features a classic-profile gold clip, properly aligned and secure, accompanied by a central gold ring that provides visual balance. The plated elements show gentle, uniform wear, maintaining a warm tone and a very proper appearance for its age, without aggressive losses that compromise the overall look.

The nib is presented in very good condition, with aligned feathers and a clean tip, without visible deformations. The feed maintains good integrity, promoting stable feeding. The pen offers a secure closure and consistent assembly, conveying mechanical robustness and excellent usability.

Overall, it is an authentic Sheaffer, well preserved and with an especially attractive aesthetic thanks to the richness of celluloid, ideal for both use and collection.

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

Good auction!
