EXCELLENT Pastel Blue Snorkel White Dot Valiant. Length capped – 5 1/2. This 1st year pastel blue Valiant is in excellent restored condition. Snorkel pens made in the first year of production (1952) were equipped with a 14k gold Snorkel tube. The company didn’t advertise or otherwise publicize the fact, and it wasn’t until sometime in the 1960s that a pair of collectors sent a tube for assay and the first-year Snorkels became collectibles. Sheaffer’s Snorkel Valiant is a White Dot model featuring a 14k gold Triumph nib with platinum mask. Other premium features include a 3/8 gold-filled cap band and a gold-filled, spring-loaded clip. I will include a photocopy of an original Sheaffer’s Snorkel instructions leaflet. Replacement of all seals and the sac. Smoothing and adjusting the nib. Refinishing the plastic, stainless steel, 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 Valiant Fine Point” is in sale since Tuesday, November 16, 2021.
