A Vintage Sheaffer's Fountain Pen

This beautiful pen was gifted to me by a dear cousin. This cousin loves browsing through and purchasing quaint and vintage things. When he discovered that I love stationery, this is what he gave me!





It's a vintage Sheaffer's Fountain pen with gold detail. The nib, from what I can make out by hunting on the web, is a Feathertouch nib, two-toned.


This pen is made in the USA and has a lever filler for the ink.





I chose to fill it with violet ink. You can see the little trial note. My cousin had the pen serviced before he gave it to me and it writes very well! Smooth, needs no pressure. The pen itself is light in weight and probably meant for a woman's hand because it is all of 13 cms in length.






Am definitely going to enjoy using this pen! Thank you, Y!!
