Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT Burgundy Snorkel SIGNATURE Fine Point PEN & PENCIL
Fine Point PEN & PENCIL. Length capped – 5 1/2. Mechanical pencil – excellent but grip is worn smooth. Extra leads and new eraser. The original Signature gift case with original tag is excellent, and the excellent original Sheaffer instructions enclosure is under the lining. The Signature model is distinct, in that it has a solid 14k cap band (hallmarked). A new owner could send the pen to Sheaffer with. There an artisan would copy the owner’s signature onto the gold cap band and send it back. This example was never sent in for that service. The pen and case are original but the pencil is a replacement. This example is from the period from 1956 to the end of Snorkel production in 1959 because the color is “new” burgundy. Replacement of all seals and the sac. Smoothing and adjusting the nib. Refinishing the plastic and gold-filled surfaces. Filling the pen with ink (not just dipping) and producing a writing sample (please see the photos). I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed.
