I've been enjoying enjoying a much needed few days off and have been playing with the camera. At the fpnuts Facebook group in my FPGeeks signature section below there's been fairly heavy presentation the last couple days of better Sheaffer Snorkels (1950s pens).

This one is "ultimint".

One of the tough colors-- Mandarin-- not only mint unused, but still sealed in original cellophane. I typically have even mint Snorks resaced, as those I sell tend to be used by customers, even when mint to start. This one, should I let it go, will not be opened to get a fresh sac. I've picked up plenty in cellophane. This might be the first with the cellophane still sealed. Pretty pen.

Sheaffer Snorkel Eye Candy, no doubt.

Well, that one, as they say, certainly "pops"! Nice.

Very classy photograph - - almost a "period look."

Thanks for the kind words. The lighting is key for pen photos.

Love the color. Let's rip that cellophane off and get a good look!
