I just inherited a Sheaffer pen and pencil set (black barrel with silver tops), nestled in their flocked bed insert, in the original black and clear plastic box. And a Guarantee slip dated December 25, 1965 from the Ohio Pen Shop at 115 East Fifth St., Government Square, Cincinnati,Ohio. Does this set have any value beyond their everyday use? If I were to put it up for sale, how much would be a fair price to ask? Thank you for any help, Ellen

Hi I have a Sheaffer fountain pen here that has a 14K LIFETIME nip, 14K clip, and a 14K band at the bottom of the cap that is 1.5cm wide. It also has a white dot on the top of the cap. It is not a snorkel and I do not think it is a triumph....It resembles them almost in every way other than it has a solid body that is all smooth and fills with a lever on the side....Would really appreciate it if anyone could help me identify it....and help me determine its value...A friend wants to purchase it and wants to be fair but not knowing its worth is frustrating ....Thanks

Sheaffer Watch
Hello, I have a Sheaffer watch that was a sample produced for a promotion in New Zealand back in the 90's, however this never eventuated so only one was produced. The watch is gold in colour with black straps, it also has a white face with the old red Sheaffer logo printed on it. The watch doesn't work and I assume it's because the battery's flat, although I have never worn it. If there are any collector's that are interested in purchasing it I can email photos.

I'm in the dark about the pens that my dad left behind when he died. I will try to describe them. Two tortoise shell pens. One is just over 5 inches the other is 5 1/2 inches. The longer one is a torpedo shape and the shorter one has blunt ends. both nibs are in very good shape and have 'Lifetime' on them. The one on the torpedo pen has a number 3181176. I can't see any cracks or chips. I would like to sell them but don't know where to begin. Thanks for any help.

Hi. This week my son was given a sheaffer fountain pen that used to belong to his Great Grandad. We would like to know about it if anyone can help? The pen comes in a goldy-brown, heavy, silk lined hinged case. On the inside lid of the case there is the Sheaffer's name. Unfortunately, the instructions in the case are for the Snorkel pen, and this quite obviously isn't one of them! The pen itself is complete and has a green mother of pearl apperance with a clip on the lid that bears the Sheaffer mark. The nib is 14 crt gold and says Conway Stewart. When I Googled this I didn't see one resembling this one. On the side of the pen there is a small metal lever? I pressume this is for drawing up ink. Can anybody tell me what model it is, how you draw up ink and approximate value? We'll never sell it but I'd like to know just in case I need to look after it myself until my son is responsible enough to appreciate it. Many thanks in advance Caroline

Hi, I am from Aruba , Dutch Caribbean. Recently my mother gave me her Sheaffer's pen which she received at age 15 from her father. This was the year 1949. The pen is intact and has a 14K point. The pen uses inkt. I looked the model up in your Website and found it as a model of the fifties . I want to know where I can get the refill for this pen. I will be in Florida in august and would like to bring the pen to a retail outlet.

I have come across a pen in my parents loft that was left to them 12 years ago, I have no idea of it's age, but it is a green plastic looking pen with gold nib, then end squares off and can be undone and pulls out I presume to suck up the ink. It has a gold ring around the pen lid and a gold clip with sheaffer's on it. Does anyone have any idea which model it would be and if it is worth anything, it is still in it's orginal box.

I just uncovered a long-neglected, Sheaffer PumpWell fountain pen. It must have been part of a desk set. No cap, Nib lookes like all the ones I've seen on sites today that say Valor, with the long gold nib that has a long diamond shape of the plastic showing. I know nothing about this pen. Can I find instructions somewhere on how to clean and care for this pen? The nib says, "SSHEAFFER 14K 585" There is an R in a circle (registered trademark symbol?) and at the far end of the nib it say USA. It has a white dot at the "non-business" end of the pen. The pen opens to pump the well by unscrewing up at that same end. There's a joint near the business end of the pen but I can't seem to unscrew it. Don't want to force it and damage it. Looking for suggestions, advice???

I have two sheaffer writing instruments. I would like to know the approximate value of each, if anyone would be obliged to assist me with this request. Following are the descriptions. Forgive for I am not versed in "pen terminology". - Sheaffer 283 Rolling Ball. - Sheaffer. Orange plastic barrel,gold-tone center band, and nib, same gold-tone "clicker" that operates from the side like a see-saw. the barrel is round, however the end opposite the nib, develops to square shape.

In the family since I don't know when some research indicating the late teens of 20th century to third decade. A beautiful marble or jade ashtray, with a dog attached, looks like a German Shepard. The nib says Sheafers 5-30. It is a long thinner pen I've seen in other pictures w/the price tag still attached 5-30D and $5.00. I am hesitant to mess w/any parts, the thin fixture to pull the ink up goes up only so far. Green felt underneath the ash tray U.S. Patents 1641829. The pen itself says patents Dec 10 12 then then Jan 27th and Oct 20-Nov 2414. Well I was thinking of putting it on e-bay, it had always been a pretty piece, but times are hard. Can anyone identify this set, and its approximate value? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I am trying to find one of these pens to replace a precious gift from my Mum which I lost. I think that this is what it's called as I saw one like it on E-bay. Does anyone know where else I can look for one? It's cream with gold carved scale-like pattern on it, gold nib, white dot, maybe 1970s. Thanks very much.

Hello, I'm a new member and joined to try and learn anything I can about an old Sheaffer pencil that I have owned since my grandfather left it to me when he died, back in 1968! It is red, white and blue. The white section appears to be mother of pearl. There is a crest on this part consisting of an eagle perched on top of a shield? and "United States Navy" written underneath. There is no lead in it but it still has the eraser on the top. My grandfather was in the British Army during WW2 and I can only assume he was given it then. I would love to know it's history/value and would love to hear from anyone who may know something/anything about it. Cheers, Mandi (from N. Ireland)

Are they Sylists? #7. gold-filled, crome, plastic combos of cap/barrel, reminder clips are long and slender and gapped at the top, some have white dots, some S's, some nothing. #8. slender pens, brushed chrome caps, plastic barrels, white dot, short reminder clips? Are they Triumph Imperials? I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.

I bought a Scheafer Targa Calligraphy pen in 1976 while I was attending George Washington University in D. C. I have since lost it and would like to replace it. I have been told that Scheafer does not make them anymore. Does anyone know where I could find one. I believe that at the time I paid $50 for it. It was Silver with a 14K gold nib.

Sheaffers Admiral Snorkel
I have been collecting and repairing Sheaffers Snorkel fountain pens for a while. I acquired another Admiral for repair and noticed that above the usual imprint on the barrel "W.A. Sheaffer Pen Co., Fort Madison, Iowa,U.S.A, Made in U.S.A," it has the numerical imprint 0004. Seems to be a series number and not the typical model number. Anyone have any ideas?

Can someone help me figure out what pen this is. I have a Sheaffer that is what I have seen referred to as brown striated design. It has the white dot. The nib says Sheffer's, LIFETIME, Reg. U.S. Pat. Off., Made in USA, 14K. The pen is streamlined from the body to the nib. The cap has a sort of wide gold band where it connects, with a couple of lines in the band. It appears the end of the pen is supposed to unscrew and pulls out to load ink. Any help as far as determing the year would be helpful. It is a beautiful pen.

I'm trying to identify the model and age of a Sheaffer fountain pen I acquired. On the barrel, besides the Sheaffer Pen Co. part, it has a tiny 350 stamped into it and above a woman's name ''ETHEL ANHOLZER''. It's green/gold striped, with a small ring of gold around the very bottom edge of the cap. Lever fill.

Identifying a ballpoint
I was given a pen from my father nearly ten years ago, which I unfortunately lost a short time later. I believe it was an Agio, but I'm unsure. The barrel was about a half-inch in diameter, and seemed to be brushed stainless steel (or chrome). It had gold trim, and the cap attached to the end of the pen which was shaped like this (______) (best I can do), so that when it was attached it would be flush with the pen. It looked very nice and was remarkably comfortable to write with. It was just this small feature that seems to be missing from the current Agio's (just from the photos it seems, I haven't seen one up close), so I get the impression they are one in the same. Can anyone tell me where I could either find this pen, or if the current Agio's are the same?

I purchased a Sheaffer White Dot Crest Fountain pen with Triumph nib and vacuum fill. (1947?) The cap is metal and has almost all the goldplating gone. I have been told that these caps were silver underneath the goldplate. Is this true? The estimate for replating the cap is $60. If it is silver, I'll leave it alone. Thanks for any info....

It is 4-7/8" long and brown/gold striped (or striated), with a small ring of gold around the very bottom edge of the cap. Lever fill.

Please, help me find out history about this pen it cares very special memories for me. Here is information I collected: 1. Fountain pen nib-section has sign "80010 F". 2. Nib labeled: "Sheaffer's 1920 18K 750 STE||PF" 3. Pen's cap labeled "Sheaffer's England". 4. Ball-point pen came with this gift has the same label - "Sheaffer's England". I would really appreciate any information about this pen. My best regards to fine writing instruments enthusiasts.

Clogging and drying up
Sheaffer seems to have reformulated Skrip ink some time in the last few years; I finally ran out of bottled ink, and had to buy a new supply. Almost immediately, I started having problems with nibs clogging and drying up. Switching back to some older Skrip cartridges that I had lying around cured the problem, so it's clearly related to the ink somehow. Anybody else seeing this? Suggestions on what to do?

Looking for a Pencil
I am trying to find a Slim Targa pencil, Sterling Silver, straight line design, probably #1004. Looks like a 1005 which are plentiful in gold on ebay. But apparently maybe the design was changed without chnaging the number. What I want is the more bold single line pattern. I have been shipped now three pieces with a very delicate line, which is not what I need. I had the whole set and loved using it. I left the pencil in a restaurant. Alternately, since i now have the pencil and ballpoint in the lighter line finish, I could take the Rollerball in that finish. Any help will be appreciated. >>RSM

Last pen I bought is gift collection 2 with marble finish. I am fully satisfied with the instrument. Moreover, its weight is accurate which give good writing and solid grip. Just want to request if its possible to add a roller in the same collection so that i can complete my set.

Greetings, I am new to fountain pen collecting and recently acquired a Sheaffer at an estate sale. I was hoping to get some assistance with identifying aspects of the pen, specifically the approximate year made and anything else unique (value, is it a common pen, etc.). It is black in color. I believe it is the 'lever-filler' type. The pocket clip and wide cap band are marked 14K. The clutch ring is gold in color, but is not marked. The 4 line embossing appearing horizontally on the pen reads: "0673", "W.A. SHEAFFER PEN CO.", "FORT MADISON, IOWA, U.S.A.", "MADE IN U.S.A.". There are no corporate or personalized engravings. The nib reads: "SHEAFFERS", "REG. U.S. PAT. OFF.", "MADE IN U.S.A.", "14K". There are no signs of cracks or chips, and the pen seems to have mild, even wear. I have not attempted to use the pen. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!. Thank you.

Welcome back Sheaffer forum
Sheaffer's collectors corner was a favorite place. I enjoyed the posts on Sheaffer fountain pens, especially the vintage ones, and was sorry it had to go into hiatus because of (probably) the spam. I enjoy a large collection of old vintage sheaffer pens, from the hard rubber flattops of the 20's to the Targa's of the 80's. I hope others start/restart posting with questions and comments. Randy
