Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT Burgundy 1 st YEAR Snorkel Sentinel, Fine Point
EXCELLENT Burgundy 1st YEAR Snorkel Sentinel. Length capped – 5 1/2. This Sheaffer Snorkel Sentinel is in excellent restored condition. Sheaffer’s Sentinel is a White Dot model with 14k gold nib with platinum mask and stainless steel cap trimmed with gold-filled clip and band. In 1952 Sheaffer brought out the innovative Snorkel model and with no announcement fit them with solid 14k Snorkel tubes. From 1953 until the end of production, these tubes were made of stainless steel, so that now the 1st-year examples are sought by collectors. I’ll include a photocopy of an original Sheaffer Snorkel instructions sheet. 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.
