Restored Sheaffer EXCELLENT Black Canadian Snorkel Clipper, Smooth Fine Point

Description: Restored SheafferEXCELLENT Black Canadian Snorkel ClipperSmooth Fine Point Length capped - 5 1/2"Point - Fine Description This black Canadian Snorkel Clipper is in excellent restored condition. There are no defects: no scratches, cracks, or dents. The nib has been adjusted for excellent ink flow, and the fine point nib has been smoothed for an excellent writing experience. This Version of the Snorkel 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. Those who are attracted to gold nibs for gold's inherent value as a precious metal should be aware that palladium has recently sold for as much as $1000-1300 on the spot market. I will include a photocopy of an original Sheaffer's Snorkel instructions leaflet. All restorations include disassembly, cleaning, 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.Payment is expected within 3 days. Free USPS First Class shipping in cardboard box. Shipping to US addresses only. All shipping materials are biodegradable. NOTE:I'm sorry but I ship only to residents of the US.
