EXCELLENT 1st YEAR Pastel Blue Snorkel Sentinel. Length capped – 5 1/2. This Sentinel is a 1st year example in excellent condition. The smooth-writing fine point nib is slightly finer than the typical Sheaffer Snorkel fine (please see the photo of a writing sample). I will include a photocopy of an original Sheaffer paper instructions folder. First-year models like this are quite collectible because they are unique. Sheaffer, with no announcement, equipped their new Snorkel models in 1952 with gold Snorkel tubes. Years later, a couple of collectors sent a tube for an assay and discovered that the tubes were gold. 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 multiple writing samples over 2 days (like the one in the photo). I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed. The item “Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT 1st YEAR Pastel Blue Snorkel Sentinel Fine Point” is in sale since Wednesday, July 1, 2020.
