EXCELLENT Burgundy 1ST YEAR Snorkel Statesman. Length capped – 5 1/2. Point – Extra Fine Point. This burgundy 1st year White Dot Statesman is in excellent condition. Please see below for details of the restoration process. For the first year of Snorkel production, the Sheaffer factory turned out pens with solid gold Snorkel tubes with no announcement of that fact. It was years later when a couple collectors had the tubes assayed that first-year Snorkels became collectibles. I will include a photocopy of an original 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.
