Sheaffer Fountain Pen

Sheaffer pens have a rich history dating back to 1913, when Walter A. Sheaffer founded the company in Fort Madison, Iowa. Known for their innovative designs and quality craftsmanship, Sheaffer became a prominent name in the fountain pen market, especially during the mid-20th century. The Balance model, which this pen resembles, was particularly popular for its streamlined shape and variety of colors.

The use of materials like Radite, a type of plastic, was common in the production of these pens, contributing to their durability and aesthetic appeal. Collectors often seek out vintage Sheaffer pens for their historical significance and unique designs. This specific model, with its striking green and black stripes, exemplifies the elegance and style of the era.
