Hi all,
These pens have all been recently restored and are ready to fill with
ink and use.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please reply to me at:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
Pen #1. ~SOLD~ to R.S.
1950's Sheaffer's Sovereign White Dot TM thin model Touchdown
fountain pen, with stainless cap and gold filled clip. This model is
the same diameter as the later Snorkel model, just lacking the Snorkel
tube. The only flaws I found on this pen are a couple of bite marks in
the milling on the blind cap. I installed a new ink sac and o-ring
gasket on the inside of the barrel and the pen fills well. The nib is
a standard open two tone very smooth writing Medium and seems to have
a bit of a nice stub-ish effect with the lines. It has a very nice
thin/thick line variation and lays down a nice wet line. The clip has
no brassing. When photographing the pen, I turned one of my lights off
to get truer to life color of the barrel. If you like stubby medium
nibs, I think you would like this one.
~SOLD~ to R.S. $105.00 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. If 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!
