One of these days I'll learn to not spend too much time scanning the bay.
While looking for a replacement for my long gone Sheaffer School pen, I also found a Snorkel Clipper set. The school pen is NOS, still on the card with seven cartridges. The one I had in second or third grade was transparent green, the one I found is also transparent but smoke colored. Not sure yet whether to leave it on the card or use it.
The Clipper set is black with metal caps and includes the box. The listing stated that the pen (medium nib) has just been restored and has two new seals and a new sack. The pencil is listed as working, both advancing the lead and retracting.
I'll be sure to post photos of both purchases and writing samples once I receive them.
I suspect that I overpaid for the school pen. But if the Snorkel set is as described, I may have done well. The total for both purchases was just over a C note.
