Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT 1ST YEAR Burgundy Snorkel Clipper Fine Point
EXCELLENT 1ST YEAR Burgundy Snorkel Clipper. Length capped – 5 1/2. This 1st year Snorkel Clipper 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 White Dot Clipper features a stainless steel cap with gold-filled trim and a palladium silver Triumph nib (80% palladium, 20% silver). Palladium silver is a 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. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Pens & Writing Instruments\Pens\Fountain Pens\Sheaffer”. The seller is “3rdlakerobert” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

Restored Sheaffer MINT Black 1st YEAR Snorkel Clipper Fine Point Pen & Pencil
MINT Black 1st YEAR Snorkel Clipper. Fine Point Pen & Pencil. Length capped – 5 1/2. This is a mint, first-year (1952) Snorkel pen and pencil set with the unique 14k gold Snorkel tube. When I disassembled this set I concluded there had been little or no use. I’ve taken a photo of the inside of the pen cap that shows no sign of ink. The wet swab I inserted into the sac came out clean. I’ve replaced the seals and sac, cleaned, and lightly polished. The barrel imprint is very deep. The pencil has an unused eraser and several leads in the storage area under the eraser. The case is in very good condition and not original to the set. The spring that snaps the cover closed is broken, and there is an ink spot on the left side of the lining. The set includes the original Snorkel instructions leaflet dated 10/52. The palladium silver nib is the earliest example. With the single word, Sheaffer. Replacement of all seals and the sac. 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.

EXCELLENT 1ST YEAR Burgundy Snorkel Clipper. Medium to Fine Point. Length capped – 5 1/2. This first-year burgundy Clipper is in excellent restored condition. There are no faults. Clippers feature palladium silver nibs. Palladium is known for its excellent ink flow characteristics and was used as a mask material on Sheaffer’s best gold nibs for decades. First-year Snorkels (1952) had solid gold Snorkel tubes installed by Sheaffer with no advertising or announcement. A few years later a couple collectors discovered the fact when they sent a tube for assay. I will include a photocopy of the original Sheaffer Snorkel paper instructions leaflet that came with every Snorkel pen. Replacement of all seals and the sac. Smoothing and adjusting the nib.

Restored Sheaffer NEAR MINT. Pastel Gray Snorkel Clipper. Fine Point Pen & Pencil. Length capped – 5 1/2. Pencil has new eraser and extra leads, propels and retracts as it should. Case – near mint. Near mint pen and pencil set restored from near mint original examples. Both pen and pencil look and operate perfectly, and the case is also near mint. An interesting feature of the pen is its color-matched section. Some Snorkel history: Snorkels were manufactured from 1952 to 1959. Black, burgundy, and pastel blue, green, and gray were the five original colors and came with black sections. They remained in the lineup throughout the entire production run. In 1956 however Sheaffer introduced 6 new colors and most of them had sections in matching colors. Very few of the original color Snorkels (from late in the production run) are found with color matched sections, and this pen is one of them. The sticker on the section is original and there is a tiny fragment of the original chalk marks visible on the barrel–please see the next-to-last photo. Also included with this set is the original Sheaffer enclosure with filling directions. I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed.

Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT Pastel Green 1ST YEAR Snorkel Clipper, Fine Point. Length capped – 5 1/2. Point – Fine (slightly wet). The Clipper is Sheaffer’s stainless-steel capped White Dot model with palladium silver nib. When Sheaffer introduced the Snorkel in 1952, they installed 14k gold tubes on all models, whether White Dot or not. This fact wasn’t publicized, and some time later a couple collectors sent some of these tubes to a salvage company for testing. They learned that the tubes were, in fact, solid 14k. Tubes used after the first year were stainless steel. This example is excellent. It’s had a full restoration, including nib tuning and new seals and sac. I’ll include a copy of Sheaffer’s original enclosure giving directions on refilling a Snorkel. I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed.
