AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage original pen in very good overall condition, with an especially attractive appearance thanks to its high-gloss, green marbled celluloid. The body and cap are well preserved, with minor signs of use expected for its age (superficial micro-scratches), with no significant dents visible in the photos.
The gold-plated fittings (clip 'SHEAFFER’S' and central ring) maintain a good tone and presence, with slight signs of wear typical of use. The engraving on the barrel 'W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO. / FORT MADISON, IOWA, U.S.A.' remains legible, which is a plus for collectors.
The nib is 14K, with visible marking ('SHEAFFER’S… 14K'), and shows typical patina/darkening of an antique piece, with no signs of breaks. The alignment appears correct in close-up shots (without indications of excessive opening or misaligned tips in the visible areas).
Overall, it is a Sheaffer Balance with very good aesthetics, ideal for collection or use, with the usual honesty of a well-cared vintage pen.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
