RARE NEAR MINT Early Ladies’ Crest. Fine Point Pen and Pencil. Length capped – 4 7/8. Mechanical pencil is excellent, propels and retracts (good eraser with extra leads). Case is original and in very good condition. Sheaffer’s top line Crest model was introduced in late 1937 for the Christmas season. They were initially made only as lever filling models, and later the Vac-fil model was added to the lineup. Crest was the first pen with a true metal cap, rather than a metal sleeve over a plastic body. Sheaffer promoted it as the first pen with a cap that mounted and posted flush with its plastic barrel. The pen is an exceptionally rare near mint example with a near perfect cap–no dings, very little scratching, deep imprint, and very transparent inkview window. I will include a photocopy of an original Sheaffer paper insert with instructions for filling the pen and pencil. I guarantee the pens I restore write smoothly and fill as designed.
