AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This Sheaffer Snorkel, manufactured in the United States and equipped with a 14-karat solid gold nib, is presented in excellent condition, both aesthetically and functionally. It is a piece that maintains the technical refinement and the characteristic elegance of the Snorkel models from the 1950s, renowned for their innovative retractable pneumatic filling system.
The body of green celluloid has a smooth, shiny surface without significant scratches, preserving the original intensity of the color and its polished finish.
The cap, made of the same material as the body, is in very good condition, with a uniform shine and no visible dents. The clip remains perfectly aligned, and the spring provides a firm fit in the pocket.
The Sheaffer’s 14K nib is in excellent condition, with clear engraving and no signs of wear or deformation. It offers smooth and precise writing, in line with the advanced design of the Snorkel series. The feed and the black nib are kept clean and well-fitted.
The load snorkel mechanism (extensible tube retractable piston system) is complete and operational, with no signs of internal or external deterioration. All components fit smoothly, and the sealing is correct.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
