Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT Black Snorkel White Dot Clipper Fine Point
EXCELLENT Black Snorkel White Dot Clipper. Length capped – 5 1/2. NOTE: This is not a 1st year Snorkel. The tube is not gold, though it appears to be in the photos. This black Clipper is in flawless restored condition. Sheaffer’s White Dot Snorkel Clipper features a stainless steel cap with gold-filled trim and a palladium silver Triumph nib (80% palladium, 20% silver). Palladium silver is precious metal that Sheaffer began using in 1933 for the masks on premium gold nibs because of its excellent ink-flow properties. Modern fountain pens with palladium silver nibs sell for about the same price as comparable models with 18k gold nibs. 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 ones in the photos). I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed. The item “Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT Black Snorkel White Dot Clipper Fine Point” is in sale since Tuesday, November 23, 2021.
