In the “What’s In Your Collection” section of the third episode of the FPGeeks podcast I talked about my first pen purchase in quite some time. I’ve always wanted a Sheaffer Snorkel but I wanted it with a special nib, like a stub or even the less common flexible nib. When I saw this Pastel Blue Snorkel on Greg Minsukin’s site (he calls it Robin’s Egg Blue) with a factory stub nib I immediately jumped on it. I called Greg right away and bought the pen 22 minutes after he listed it. I’ll stop talking now and just let you enjoy the photos.

Congratulations on a sweet find! I am a big fan of vintage Sheaffer because I love their nibs, but I've not yet had the opportunity to try a Sheaffer factory stub. These photos definitely invoke some pen envy. I'm curious, what did you ink the pen with? I really like that blue.
Thank you Karen!
The ink is Edelstein Topaz, but I notice that it looks strikingly similar to Visconti Turquoise.
