Sheaffer Balance Junior in a "Rose Glow" finish.

Has a "Junior" nib and clip marked "Sheaffer Junior".

As you can see, the nickel is well seasoned showing the brass underneath.

The section was once visulated but is now mostly ambered (can be seen held up to a light)

The section is stupidly loose to the barrel, so I have the section sitting alone with a light even brushing of shellac on the joint that connects to the barrel. Going to let it cure for a couple hours and then test in the barrel to see if it helps add a little firmness without curing it to the barrel side.

Beautiful pen. A note: Richard Binder dates the Rose Glow Balances from 1936-38 (http://richardspens.com/ref/profiles/balance.htm).

The Junior is the one pen still available in Rose Glow in 1939.

Btw it's a very very smooth EF point. Have it currently inked with Waterman Inspired Blue.
