Three ring gold vinyl binder imprinted with white dot and Sheaffer The Proud Craftsmen and International Sales Manual. Holds standard three hole punch 8.5x11 inch papers. The perfect binder to use to keep track of your pen collection. Ca. mid-1980s. New condition. P796 Sheaffer Pen Co. Binder, Int'l. Sales Manual $5

Clear vinyl with blue Sheaffer imprint at top. Measures 5.5 x 1.5 inches. I had not seen these before, they have a sort of 1970s look, but I could be off a few years on dating these. These remind me a little bit of those nerdy, but popular pocket protectors. Never used and in excellent condition.

Sheaffer Retail Display Pad

This retail display pad would have been provided to Sheaffer Pen retailers for displaying and showing Sheaffer pens to their customers. The pads measure 10 x 14 inches. Velvety soft brown velor finish on top with white dot and Sheaffer in dark green. The back side is brown non-slip vinyl. None have been used, all in new condition.

We had not seen these before and I am speculating they came out of Sheaffer-UK since the shipping carton they were found in was marked Sheaffer Hemel Hempstead.

On Nov 18, 2008, a customer in Australia graciously shared with us that in the late 1980s he worked in a pen shop and they used these exact retail display pads in the shop. We now know that at least they were used by Sheaffer dealers in Australia!

Sheaffer Factory Postcard

Sheaffer Paintings Exhibit
Commemorative Poster

During the month of November 2005, 13 original works of art by distinguished artists Andrew Loomis, Coles Phillips, Frederic Mizen, John Newton Howitt and Lester Bentley were exhibited at the Fort Madison Art Center. These paintings were commissioned by Sheaffer Pen from the 1920s - 1940s and had never before left the halls of Sheaffer headquarters in Fort Madison, Iowa.

50 posters were made for the exhibit and all proceeds from the posters go to the Fort Madison Art Center who graciously sponsored the Sheaffer Paintings exhibit.

The poster measures 11 x 17 and is printed in full color on heavy gloss stock. The photo featured is by Andrew Loomis.

PFM 1959 Brochure Reprint

Have a PFM obsession? Yearning to know more about your pens? You're not alone! Reprint of original 1959 PFM brochure done on heavy stock as the original was, top notch printing - you wouldn't know it was a reproduction except this is noted on the back as a repro. Thankfully this eliminates any confusion with an original brochure which sells for quite a bit more than this one! Tri-fold 8.5 x11 in, full color, info on PFM series and other Sheaffers from this era, great illustrations!

Sheaffer "TX" Mechanical Pencils are a slimmer version of the Fineliner with a single solid color (no mother of pearl look). Also very sturdy, utilitarian pencils.

This is the cover of a 1959 Lady Sheaffer catalog from our private collection. It is actually more of a large brochure and contains 6 pages showing all of the patterns of the regular production Lady Sheaffer Skripsert fountain pens and pencils made to that date. Lady Sheaffers were given a Roman Numeral designation as well a name for each pattern.

The Sheaffer Crest was introduced in 1991, reminiscent of the Sheaffer Triumph series from the 1940s. The Crests were fitted with Sheaffer's famous "Triumph" conical wrap around nibs, some of the smoothest writing nibs made.

The photo above is a Sheaffer Fashion Ballpoint sample that came from the Sheaffer Paint Room at their factory in Fort Madison, Iowa. We purchased this pen and the desk it came in, in February 2007 at auction. Painted pen finishes were all produced in this section of the factory. The item is not real old, it is dated 1990, but we did find it fascinating that it was marked by hand.

In case you can't read the tag clearly in the photograph it says: "2330 FBP 645 Preferred finish, texture, and color of FPB 645 Dusty Rose. 9/18/90 D. Hauck"

FBP is an abbreviation for Fashion Ball Point and 645 was the stock number of this item.

Sheaffer Fashion Pencil, red weave lacque

$15

Sheaffer made No Nonsense Pens for many years with the threaded cap which many people find preferable to their newer style of Viewpoint with a friction fit cap. Designs ranged from plain black to some pretty wild designs. The nice thing about No Nonsense pens is that they truly are no nonsense pens and write first time, every time, very reliable.

Sheaffer No Nonsense pens measure 5.25 inches long. All of the ones listed below are in a minimum of very good condition, many are new old stock and have never been used.

Sheaffer No Nonsense Nib Units

The nibs listed below are nib units only for the original style No Nonsense fountain pens which have threaded sections and caps. Newer style No Nonsense have push on caps and a rubber gripping section. Nibs for the screw in style do not interchange with the rubber gripping section style. Nib are polished steel. All are new old stock.

SH-NIB-3TINE

Sheaffer No Nonsense Nib Unit, triple tine italic, unusual specialty nib writes a double line with one line being wider than the other.

Intrigue Pens

Sheaffer has recently discontinued their Intrigue line of writing instruments. The Intrigue has a distinctive style and has been a well received pen. We'll do our best to continue to try and locate Sheaffer Intrigue pens for you!

We think one of Sheaffer's most practical inventions ever was the "Reminder Clip" ballpoint pen. Depress the clip and the point extends. But, you must click it again to make the point retract and open the clip back up in order to clip it in your pocket. No chance of an ink stain ever with this handy little invention. The clip doesn't open, unless the refill is retracted. Sadly, Reminder Clip ballpens are no longer made. We try to round these up whenever we can because they are still very popular today.

Sheaffer School Ballpoint Pens

So much nicer than those stick pens, get a bunch for your kids or place them strategically around the office! Better still, when your heavy handed friend asks to borrow your fountain pen, hand them one of these and save your fountain pen from undue abuse!

New Old Stock Sheaffer Desk Pens

Desk style ballpoint pen with chain. New old stock, black, pen measures 7 inches, chain measures 27.5 inches. New condition.

Refilling your
Vintage Mechanical Pencils

Most mechanical pencils made before the late 1960s and some even after that are refilled by feeding lead in from the Point End. Those that feed from the barrel (below the eraser) are a fairly modern invention! Don't be fooled by leads in the barrel, in older pencils, that was simply a space to store a few extra leads, but that's it - just storage. As always with vintage writing instruments, exceptions will crop up!

The instruction below are from a Sheaffer package insert, but apply to most older mechanical pencils.

We carry a variety of pencil leads - click here.
