etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
4. Circa 1929 Sheaffer’s standard size Balance pen in black. This
first model of Balance pen is sometimes referred to as the “Long
Balance” model, because of the extra long tapered end of the barrel.
The ball of the clip has some typical brassing and the band has the
initials “G.M.” engraved in block capital letters on the backside. The
pen measures 5 5/8 inches or 14.4 cm. The nib is a very smooth writing
rigid Extra Fine 14K Lifetime. Overall this is a very nice example of
a first model Balance pen. Circa ‘37 Gruen Curvex wristwatch in the
photos is not for sale.
Price $175.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see
"Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

5. ~SOLD~ to M.A.
circa 1933 Sheaffer's Balance in silver pearl with red veining.
This is a short, stubby model pen, sometimes referred to as a "vest
pocket" model. It is the diameter of a full standard size model, but
capped measures 4 5/8 inches or 11.7 centimeters. The only damage I
could see was some typical brassing on the ball of the clip. There is
no discoloration and the barrel imprint is deep. The nib is a smooth
writing wide Fine or narrow Medium two tone 14K "Lifetime". Overall
this is an excellent example of this model.
~SOLD~ to M.A. $145.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see
"Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

6. 1937 to '45 Sheaffer's Balance pen in black. This is a short,
stubby model pen, sometimes referred to as a "vest pocket" model. The
barrel imprint seems a bit light on the right hand side. There is no
brassing on the clip, cap band or lever. There is what appears to be a
speck of white plastic imbedded in the barrel just ahead of the lever
slot, which I find interesting, usually it is specks of steel that I
see imbedded in the plastic. It is the diameter of a full standard
size model, but capped measures 4 3/4 inches or 12 centimeters. The
nib is an Extra Fine two tone 14K "Lifetime". Overall the condition is
Excellent.
Price $135.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping see
"Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

Rules, Shipping, Etc.
The usual rules apply, the person sending the first e-mail on an item
~stating intent to purchase~ gets the item. I will give you 5 days to
decide if you like the pen or not. I prefer payment by PayPal but also
accept checks or money orders in USD. I can only accept payment by
PayPal from countries outside the U.S. I ship worldwide, so
international customers are always welcome.
Prices are post paid in the U.S., and will be shipped with a tracking
number and insurance. I normally ship inside the U.S. by U.S.
Postal Service Priority Mail. I can also ship to other countries by
Priority Mail, but I prefer to ship by Express International Mail. I
have to charge by Express International Mail, depending on which
country the item will be sent to, but it can be insured and can
usually be tracked online.
Return Policy: I will always allow pens, or other items, to be
returned. f there is a problem I would prefer the chance to fix the problem
or replace the item, when and if possible. Otherwise a full refund
will be offered. If you find a problem and choose to send the item
(pen, mechanical pencil, etc.) to someone else to be corrected, I will
not be responsible for any other problems.
Happy penning!
