9982: Sheaffer lever-filler: black hard rubber with gold filled foliate filigree overlay, 13.6 cm long; hard rubber is glossy and only slightly faded, metalwork crisp, noting initials on indicia, #2 nib has what appears to be a superficial manufacturing flaw, a sort of blister-crack running through the "2" of the imprint, but is a very good writer and functionally perfect; narrow feed, raised narrow barrel threads -- a fine example of a very early Sheaffer overlay.

medium fine flex • $1100 
1208: Sheaffer Self-Filling: scarce extra-slender gold filled full overlay lever-filler, 11.8 cm long, finely engine-turned panels; "A.C.P.E." rather crudely engraved on indicia, somewhat toothy but very flexible #1 Sheaffer nib.
