AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original Sheaffer Snorkel fountain pen, in very good condition for its age, with an especially elegant visual set: a black body with a glossy finish and a golden cap.

Aesthetically, it shows micro-scratches and slight signs of use typical of normal handling and the passage of time, with no significant dents or visible cracks in the photographs. The cap retains a good shine, with small fine marks typical of polished surfaces.

The piece has been verified by our professionals: the Snorkel system functions correctly, loads properly, and the pen is ready to use. The Sheaffer 'Triumph' 14K nib (marked 'Sheaffer’s – Made in U.S.A. – 14K') is shown complete and in good condition, offering a reliable writing experience in line with a classic model from the brand.

Overall, it is an authentic, proven, and operational Snorkel, ideal for both collectors and daily use.

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

Good auction!
